Be carefull saffs handle really bad when they are too low. If you are gong that low you will need camber shims on the rear. and don't forget a full setup once your happy.

Totally agree They look good low but handle like shit. Even tried coilovers but ended up really harsh so went back to std height and konis.

unless you can spend ŁŁŁŁ's its not worth messing

Totally agree

Standard on front but slightly higher than standard on the rear. The aim is to get these old boats to handle so coilovers rear beam & at least standard height.
They are not meant to look & handle like a boat half full of water.

17" on konis and -40s. Does handle pretty crap on the 17s. Was worse on the 8x16" oz mags though. Drives superbly on the 15" 4x4 wheels
