So i made the mistake of cutting a little too much off of my front springs and now it sits about 1 inch too low in the front. What is the cheapest yet best way to raise it an inch without having to buy new springs?
thanks

Too low hmmmm,I know I haven't seen your car but is it to low that something is rubbing ??,is it to low compared to the back,drop the back.
There use to be a spacer you could stuff in the springs to bring them up

the back is pretty low already too. but yea, it is too low that it rubs. i have some pretty skinny tires up front too. basically, the crossmember is about 2-3 inches from the ground. ill try to get some pictures up.

Bite the bullet and replace the springs. Do it right!

You could probably get a better price at your local alignment shop.

I got a set of fronts off my 72. Not sure if they will work. Your welcome to them if you want to pay the shipping.
when i redone my car i replaced everything in the front end. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with them. They are out of a smallblock A/C car
If your intrested PM me
