When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread

One thing to note though- your upper bumpstop. You need a low profile bumpstop on the LCA, but for the upper bumpstop if your car is going to be lowered you will probably need a taller bumpstop, not a shorter one. If you think about how you're moving the suspension when you lower the car this makes sense, the taller bumpstop goes along with recentering the range of travel. Also, with a large torsion bar, you don't get much twist with the weight of the car. Meaning, if you have too much travel, you can actually unload the torsion bar completely and drop the adjusting bolts off the LCA levers (that's bad). That part depends on how low your car sits (well, the adjuster setting).

I use these for upper bump stops Energy Suspension Bump Stops 9.9136G . You can see I also run a spacer under those, my car is lowered to the point that I needed a little more height to keep the adjusters loaded when the suspension was fully unloaded and sitting on the stops. That stuff all shows up as you test the range of motion for the front suspension with the ride height etc.

Good catch on the bump stops. Didn't even think of that. I'll check out the ones you posted. You wouldn't happen to have any good starting measurements on the SPC uppers, do you? I don't have the original uppers and need a good starting place.
