Well, I finally got around to getting the VB springs de-arched and here is the result.

Questions and/or comments are appreciated.

I like it! Nice looking car. Of course i might be just a little bias towards red 67 RS.

An improvement for sure, Chris. Kinda looks like the front needs to come down another inch now, too, or maybe you just need practice holding the camera straight?

Smart a** :)

The front might could come down. I am gonna drive it and see how I llike it. I am not thrilled about pulling everything on the front end just to get the springs out and cut them.

looks sweet funk, id say to have it come down a lil in the front, but you would probably end up rubbing too much... looks great none the less

Chris,

Looks good--the back looks perfect now...

If you don't mind me asking, what's a ballpark cost to have springs dearched?

Mine need dearched and the front needs to come up...

$250 and that included the labor to R&R the springs and de-arch.

I like it a lot! Agree on the front - it sits just about like mine, sorta the uphill racer look. The list of things I'd like to do to my car is long. $$$$

"Uphill Racer" now that is kinda cool.

My driveway slopes upward toward the garage, perhaps that is the "problem". Maybe I should get some pics with it on level ground.

Lookin' good Funk! I need to get rid of these lowering blocks on mine and get some of those springs.

Can the spring shop dial the drop in to exactly what you want? For example I would like my rear to come down about 2". Can the spring shop do that? I remember looking into this a couple of years ago and was told that they were really guessing at this process and couldn't guarantee it. I would like to learn more. Thanks

I asked for a 1.5" drop on both sides and it was dead on.

Thanks Guys.

Since Jim popped a blood vessel over the camera angle and his PERCEIVED lack of my ability to hold the camera level, I snapped a shot today showing it on level ground.

well ok then, the bleeding has stopped.

And the stance looks just perfect (now that you figured out how to hold the camera straight) don't change a thing.

I do have a splinter in my finger, and Carol can't seem to find a tweezers... got one handy?

Hey, there was a smiley in there, I just forgot to add it. :):):):):)

You don't need no stinkin' tweezer, just grab the swazall and lop it off.

CFunK, your car and its stance looks great!!!! The picture on level ground shows the true story. Nice pictures by the way, what kind of camera are you using?

CFunK
