[Vwdiesel] [Vwdiesel sub-frame and alignment

[raymond greeley]

good point to all that wrote and thought it. a vision did flash across my mind

of the car sitting higher wo the motor and thus the camber changing. 

 

I will complete the camber after I lower the suspension, purely looks.

 

I will need to cut the springs or use clamps that pull spring coils close together

either way i would want the springs to be fairly stout or stiff. has anyone swapped in

a heavier use spring- cut down to achieve such an effect. 

 

 

I hope this mod does not rankle the purest here. it is a city car (chicago) and so it will not be called on to perform high way nimbleness though the stiffer suspension should perform well though bottom out easier.

 

thanks, ray
