Dean, I have asked myself the same questions, and have come to the simple conclusion to just try it. The parts are so cheap (lower front springs $60, lowering blocks in the rear) that you can throw t

My Bugeye is lowered between an inch and an inch and 1/2 in the front and I intend to go back to stock height when I get around to it. Last Sunday driving through a shopping center parking lot, I dr

I think part f the issue here is the age of the car, At least in the North American market ride height was increased at some point to conform with governmental regulations, so I don;t think older car

Great! Does that mean that you have poly bushings on your driver and you like them? I have Winner's Circle offset trunnion bushings, but was wondering how poly A-arm bushings would perform... Ulix __

Go with the uprated and lowered front springs, but don't go over 350#/inch. Stock is about 250#, race start at about 550#. I'd stay with stock rears, but lowered with a block to match the front. bria

did you get the before/after effect, i.e. did you drive the car with rubber bushes and then shortly after drive it with poly bushes? I am always looking for direct comparisons so I don't have to exp
