Lowering and wheel size

learjet79 · 2008-10-20T05:39:38+00:00

Hi all, just wanting to know what i can do to my 71 superbug to lower and make it look good. eg: so it's not doing a mono. i have 14 x 6" wheels on it now with a 195/75/R14 tyre if i lower now the tyre will hit the guard. What would do the trick ??? Also im having a splutter broblem under load while driving. anyone got any ideas.

Hey Learjet adjustable struts as Joel said are the only way to go.
I run them in my 71 super hillclimber. You can raise or lower your height in minutes not to mention have a range of different springs for different applications.
