So I need to lower the LH, I reckon maybe an inch? Any feedback on what springs you are running would be great, oh and photos of tuff lowered Torana's please

It is a bit of a monster truck isn’t it.

Haha yeah, I've never bottomed it out

Id say 2 inches. Back in the day 2 inch lowered springs were what we all just put in and they seemed to be about right.

I think this probably looks about right. I dont know any of the specs but the owner Greg Manion is pretty active on the facebook another bloody torana group page.

Nice car, Before you look at lowering it to much check to see your tyres aren't going to scrap. Unsure if and how much your guards are cut under the flares. Also you'll need a wheel alignment on the front as the geometry will change.

Start by cutting 3/4 of a turn off the springs and see where you are at.

Looks tuff

Reckon that second car has taller rubber? If you can fit bigger tyres will look good without so much lowering but as said clearance to guards is the main issue.

If you can see the tread on the top of the tyres from any angle, the car is too high.

 

Cut at least a half a coil (3/4 is more likely) off the front springs until it doesn't look ridiculous any more, and see if the ride is firm enough for your liking, if not, get stiffer springs and then cut to taste.

Rear springs... go and buy some normal 'Lowered' springs then have them compressed another inch at a spring shop - unless you can find a "super low" in a catalogue, but I'm not sure if that's available.

Thanks everyone, I was hoping to buy a set at the right height but it doesn't look like there's anything out there off the shelf

Yeah I think your right it looks good. Nice colour as well.

The L34's and A9X's had the heavy duty F71 (Taxi pack) springs so they could be homologated with the larger wire diameter. This made them sit up as high as your car Jason. The first pic is my car when it was new. The second is after 45 years of "settling".
