Rear Suspension Help
I have 5 leaf mid eye rear leafs on my 65 with KYB gas adjusts. I am running 17x8s with tires that hit up inside my wheel wells on bad dips when I am alone which is 99 % of the time and fairly often when I travel with a passenger and luggage. No damage is caused but it is very annoying. When I am loaded it also rubs on turns. A panhard will help there.
The ride is not harsh at all and the car handles well so far.
I really like the wheels and tires. I really like the car low for autox. I am considering changing the shocks to Bilstein Sports to gain some compression dampening and possibly decreasing the distance between the bumper and the axle. I could also add some spring or shackle length to fine tune things.
Any other ideas?
