Looks like he raised the rear towers.Originally posted by BUSTIVA View Post
Does anyone have more info on the mod he did to the front? I can't quite visualize what he's done.1993 Ford Festiva "Superleggera" 5-Speed

He just cut out the parts of the wheel wells that hit the tire and glassed and patched them over to clear the tires.Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

OH, you moved the spring perch! I see it now.Originally posted by jmye1524 View PostI cut the bottom spring perch loose from the strut body,rotated it 180* and moved it down.
Edit:
I saw you went this route for hood clearance. Well that's not an issue for me :twisted:Last edited by Panici; 10-03-2012, 09:51 PM.1993 Ford Festiva "Superleggera" 5-Speed

I've lowered my car very low, and while the ride is much stiffer than stock, I don't think it would cope with an extra 1200lbs lol. Try to put the smallest diameter wheel/tire combo that you can. THis will lower the car without needing extensive suspension lowering.'93 BP-T 57trim TO4E - Coilovers - 13x7 steelies - 175/60 - 48k mi

But was it 1-2 inches off the ground BEFORE loading it?Originally posted by FestYboy
I just thought of something. What if you used the rubber cylinders and springs? The rubber would then just be industrial strength bump stops to keep from going lower than say 1" off the ground. Then you could use more sanely stiff springs and keep it 2" high with them. Put on the 1200 and it just sinks 1" till it rests on the rubber. Presto.Last edited by sketchman; 10-09-2012, 06:23 AM.Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.
