I guess its enough to call it a "build" now. Blood sweat and tears inside...

did you remove the original tube from the knuckle, or just grind it flat and butt the coil over up to the old tubing?

You leave the nub on the knuckle and the new coilover tube, which has a larger I.D., slides right over super snug.

The pictures show...where i cut the tube is what i left. The steel sleeve fits snugly over the old shock tube.

Very nice.
Any quality spring doesn't ever really "settle" to be honest. Once the car is on the ground and driven, it's done!
Just take the rear perch out now and play with spring pads.

True, and i also mine are stiffer springs than the rest of the group that got them... and i have the lightest car. So where it sits now i think is gonna be it, so your right ill just get to it now, unless i find out i need to roll the rear fenders which it looks like it.

Nice project. Are you going put on a front euro valance? Are you going to do rear discs brakes?

Disk brakes, eventually but not high on the priority list. Valance if i can locate one and dont have to sell one of my kidneys to fund said valance.

UPDATE: Took some parts from the rear spring perches, which brought it down another half inch or so. Then lowered the front another 20mm. Had to take my spacers off because now it rubs in the rear. We're getting somewher now people!!! They will go back on after a rear fender roll. I dont think ill have to mess with the front fenders unless i decide to go more in the front. Ground clearance is very good still, mind you i have no side skirts or rear valance so it may be as low or lower than others but doesnt look it until you measure the roof lines. Pics after a bath tonight. Then ill wash the car.
