Brad,
I use Spax adjustables set about #5 on the 1-10 adjustment You can alter
this without taking the shock off the car. , They adjust length with 2
threaded locking rings That coupled with 500 lb springs , ride height set
at 4 inches from frame to ground. Thats the set up I have on the H Prod
Spitfire. Have similar set up on the vintage spitfires as well. with the
lower A arms set parallel to the ground.
