Hello all,
I am about to play with my rear suspension a bit on my 67 coupe and was hoping I could get some advice. Right now I have caltrac monoleaf springs and competition engineering slide-alinks. My current project is installing a pair of weld-in competition engineering subframe connectors. They allow you to move in the leafsprings a few inches, which I would like to do.
Here is a link to the instructions, the crappy diagrams is on the second page: http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/instructions/cee-3013.pdf
My question is, if I move the leafsprings to the new location inside the subframe connectors (like 2 or 3 inches), will I need to do any other modifications to the suspension or buy new shocks??? I know I will need to move the spring perches on the diff close together, but will there be a new angle that requires major work to be done to work correctly?
Thanks all!!!!!!!!
