Hello all,
I am not sure how old the rear springs on my '65 Barracuda 'S' might be. The car seems to have a bit of a low stance in the rear, and I am wondering how much the springs might be sagging. Also, they are not the correct, stiffer 'S' springs.
Would somebody have a similar car with newer springs that could tell me what the normal height should be. On my car the distance from center of hub to underside of quarter panel trim is 9 1/2"- 9 3/4".
Does the additional leaf on the stiffer spring change the height?
I am trying to decide whether to replace the springs (if they are sagging) or try a more simple method to slightly raise the back end.
Thank you for any input.
