Re: [FWDLK] Actual orig heights of 57/58 PLYM



So, if the car is 1" to 3" too high after new springs are installed, and assuming the springs are spec correct. Then just install 1" to 3" lowering blocks and problem is solved.
Anyway that's how I fixed the height on my project.

Hi Members

After a few restorations on 57/58 PLYMOUTS (all 2dr h/t), it always
seems the final 'overall height' of the car is too high by 1 to 3 "

This is according to the spec stated in several places that the 2 dr h/t
should be 54" overall height

It always seems the rear replacement springs are too stiff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know for sure that the 57/58 PLYMOUTH 2dr h/t from the
factory was 54" ????????????

............or was this a guess and estimate of mother mopar????

ALSO, was that measurement without any passengers???
or a full up loaded car???

It would appear that the springs for a 54" car would have to be bowed
DOWN-which does not make real sense.

I was wondering if anyone on the list ever did research on this topic in
the past
