Start with maximum diameter tires without creating interference with parts =
of the body/chassis, paying special attention to the fit of the front wheel=
s max left/right position. If you raise the height by altering the springs =
you have to pay attention to the reach of the shocks, you may have to chang=
e them for ones with more outward travel. The geometry of the front wheels =
will change considerably if you raise the riding height. Some serious mods =
may be necessary.=20
Also consider modifying the exhaust system by using bespoke silencers at th=
e rear only to create more ground clearance.=20
Fit skid plates under the car for protection.=20

Hi all,=20

I am in the process of doing a nut and bolt restoration on a 1962 BT7 Three=
 Carb. My car is located in Lima =E2=80=93 Peru and according to Waze we ar=
e in the top ten worst places to drive in the world!=20



Authorities have found no better way of controlling speed than filling the =
streets with speed bumps of different height and sizes. There are parts of =
the city where you can find several on one block!=20



As you can imagine Lima is not the best place to drive such a low vehicle a=
s a Healey and I am considering increasing the front and rear height of the=
 car maybe a couple of inches. I am aware that this will affect the look of=
 the car but I have no other choice.=20



Would you please provide me with ideas or suggestions on how to tackle this=
 project before we start assembling the car and suspension?=20



Thanks in advance for your comments.=20



Best regards,=20
