jacked up alpine

[roger]

well this is a strange one ! m 67 alpine came out of a barn, 28 yrs.. good shape but the guy jacked it up . 4" brackets on rear which i can remove easy, but front end i cant tell. would it be longer springs?

I have always felt Series V's sat higher than the earlier cars, but I have no data to support this. To raise the front, the prior owner could have used longer springs, or some sort of spacer between the spring and the body - note that they came with rubber isolators in this area.

the car is level with 4 " bracket on spring shackle at rear. seems very high in front and rear. I guess take bracket off rear and cut spring to level

Roger, For what it's worth, here is a link to a POST made dealing with the coil springs that might provide some useful info for you....
