Default Re: 62 Chevrolet, STILL No Traction

Oh, it IS frustrating, Dave !
But that's why I chose Stock. The car is very near rust free, original paint... EXTTEMELY valuable body style. Would not choose a class that requires a bunch of modifications ( IE, Super Stock ).

I have one other question for the rear-coil-spring guys...
I have a too high in the rear problem. Springs are relatively stiff. I can correct the ride height by shortening them, and keeping the rear "well sprung". Or, I can replace them with a much softer set ?
My experience when putting in the softer springs, was that it DID get the lower control arms at a better angle, but resulted in a COMPLETE loss of any form of traction whatsoever. ( this was before I raised the mounting point of the upper arms ).

I'm attacking the ride height today. Have a few options... soft springs by far the easiest.
