Thnx man, appreciate it, I never measured it. I got the adjustable spring set, set at as low as possible.

Since the rims are being powder coated at the moment, thought I would replace those brake drums & shoes while I'm at it:

I expect the wheels to be done in 1,5 to 2 weeks.

Update:

Got the wheels back from powder coating:

..and fitted.:

Image

Few sidenotes;
  • the car is not washed on these, and previous images :D
    the drums and brakes will be done in a week or so
    the hub caps are obviously missing in these images, will fit them ASAP (working on the logo's, long story :roll:)
    I tend to paint the hood, tailgate, sidemirrors gloss black as well (awaiting better financial position :lol:)
