Today was good

I did from what most say is a No No. I wanted just a shade lower in front so I took out the front new Moog springs and burned them. I took them out and placed them in my wood splitter and compressed them 5/8". Then the victor wrench came out. Heated the first full coil at the top and then made good use of waste oil and cooled it down. The front came down 1/2", just right.

I'm happy with the front now and I still have good ground clearance. Next week maybe bring another half inch off the back although I hate to loose the very slight rake that I have now.

And thanks to CL I scored a rear sport bumper with brackets for $50 and it's nice. Gotta wait till tomorrow to put that on. It's been a good day.
