Yeah, I thought it sat higher in the front than an original stock TCS did. What I think happened was, the original owner put some adjustable SPAX shocks on it in the late 70s but used the original springs
Maybe this made it sit higher in the front than normal. When I took the springs off, they measured about 13”, and I cut them to about 9.5”. The adjustable spanner is all the way down, so I have room to raise the front if needed.
I drove it a bit last night and I noticed it tracked the same but seemed to have a better ride compared to when it sat higher. (I think the front was very stiff with the springs being compressed too much)
And didn’t notice any bottoming out when going over rough roads in the front.
I didn’t measure the spring rate before or after and did not adjust the rears at all.
