So much better ........

... after experiencing some minor tire rub during sharp turns, we decided to replace the front springs on the Thames to raise the nose a couple of inches ........ we used Mustang II 375# springs instead of the original 317# .......... not only is the ride height raised with no rubbing problems anymore, the ride is much better and the steering much more stable ...... plus, now he has more of a "gasser" stance rather than a "street rod" stance :cool::cool:

Funny how little adjustments and changes can really help. Raising also probably dialed in a little more caster. Looks good sitting at that height.

Considering where you started,then driving it,then it looking good darn good and now this improvement.That is just the icing on a very very nice car(cake.)Should be a summer show stopper.
