I've pulled off the rear end & suspension from my '63 Sprite parts car for
use on my Bugeye rebuild. Currently cleaning & disassembling all the parts,
but have a couple of questions for the Lists before I start reassembling.
1) Should the bushings in the 1/4 springs & the radius arms be replaced with
polyurethane? If so, who sales them? - I haven't seen them in the VB or M*ss
catalogues.
2) The front end will be 1" lower, so I would like to lower the rear by about
1/2" to 1". If I remember previous discussions correctly (sorry, but I can't
find the specific threads), the rear suspension can be lowered by inserting a
spacer between the mounting box & the springs. Is this correct? Anything I
should be careful of? Any other ways of lowering rear?
TIA
