Hi 

 

Wondering if any one knows how to get some more height in the front end 

 

1 for 15 inch rally tyres 195/70 15  overall of 650mm up from 580mm my current 14 inch tyres are

 

2 bit more travel for when I leave the ground

 

3 more clearance for when im on the ground

 

current thinking was custom tubular control arms as ive already bend 1 lower arm and parts are getting hard to find lol

 

Rear end is easier as when I get a new diff put in I can get set too suit the front.

You could space the front end from the body itself

I have thought about this a bit but haven't looked too far into it. HQ stubs can be fitted to L300 front ends if the bottom tapered holes are opened out a bit for L300s bigger balljoint taper.

 

This drops the front 2" so L300 spindles should raise the front on a Torana by 1" if the larger balljoint can be fitted to the lower arm. Downside is you are limited to L300 brakes (10" non ventilated disc) and ford stud pattern.

 

Not sure om KPI offhand.
