Lowering springs and performance shocks

[So Cal Mark]

We've struck a deal to import lowering springs and performance shock absorbers from Germany. The rear springs are progressive, so lowering the car won't result in such a harsh ride. The drop is 1 1/2" on the late cars. Here are some before and after pics showing the new stance, along with pics of the difference in the springs.

How much is a set going to cost?
Thanks Bruce

[btoran]

are both the shocks and springs needed to lower the car? i've recently upgraded my shocks so only need the springs (or to my existing ones, which i would prefer not to do). is an earlier car (1975 with even earlier chrome bumpers) lowered the same amount?

[So Cal Mark]

the shocks are not required for lowering

how much for a set of springs?
cut my rears and will need to do the front... yours would be a much better option.
what can be done to the panrod? I assume the rear end will shift a 1/4 inch over?
thanks!

Our lowering springs have arrived and are ready to ship!

I don't see any pricing on your website. what are you asking?

[So Cal Mark]

Funny how the euro fluctuates over the years. I bought a set of these about 3 years ago from Spider Point and paid about $300 including shipping. I don't regret putting them on the car as it took away the 4x4 stance. Rides smooth, corners flat, and for this price you can't beat it.

. The panhard rod moves very little. Assuming a 3' panhard rod drops 3" (this is a lot of travel), the actual horizontal movement is about 1/8". This is calculated assuming the bar at rest is horizontal. Since the panhard rod is angled above horizontal at rest and passes below horizontal with a drop in suspension and loading, the horizontal movement would be less.

It's an excellent price, given that the Spider Point springs are still over 200€.

Mark, Any information on the new shocks you mentioned earlier? Type, price, brand, when available? I am diving into suspension and trying to make some decisions.

[So Cal Mark]

we haven't brought the shocks in yet, it will be after the first of the year for those. It's a German brand called TopLine, not as stiff as a Koni but stouter than the KYBs

Mark, those are Italian Osrav Topline shocks. I have same set. See my restoration thread.

Mark, do these lower early cars too?
