have an overall diameter of 31 " .... the car is too
low in front, not in rear; need perhaps KYB shocks in
front (mine came from Kant...r, not made in USA..)
If your ride height in front is too low, your torsion
bars need to be adjusted. (New shocks will not affect
ride height.) Although the shop manual gives a very
detailed procedure, I usually match my front height to
the rear height by parking the car on a perfectly
level surface and taking measurements at the ends of
the frame nearest the F&R wheels. Then I adjust the
front torsion bars accordingly. Of course, when you
adjust the front bars and new front end alignment is
necessary.
Also, by all means get the proper 9:50 x 14 tires.
They would give you almost 2" of additional ground and
the car would ride like it was designed to do.
