[V8] Lowering the front end

[Ed Kellock]

Same situation as my 89 200q.

Unfortunately, if you do something to compensate for it as is, you'll
just have to undo it later on.

Putting Boges in the rear will restore the rake, but you'll be jacked
up at both ends then.

This was a great benefit in my Coupe GT which was sagging badly in the
rear.  I had some spacers for the rear spring seats fabricated to
raise it back up level with the stock shocks.  Had to remove them when
I installed Boges.  After 8 years, my CGT has not returned to its
previous ride height, for better or worse.

However, with Boges all around you'll have more ground clearance and
suspension travel.  I figure that's a good thing too, right?  ;-)
