Hi Atwell and list,
You may be wrong and just not know it. Check to see if you have a packing
spacer between the chassis and top of spring unit on the driver's side. I
KNOW the GT6 came with this because I have one. It is about 3/8" in
thickness and will raise the car that much. When you sit in it, the car
will be level and "proper".
...talk about "weight jacking in NASCAR"??? Hell, TR used it decades ago!
