Spings on 3.0s my 1972

[giannicsl]

Hi guys
I rely on your experience..

On my e3
I mounted a trim with American yellow springs...
The car behind is too low for my taste.
How can I raise it 30mm?
Are there any clay pigeons?
Can I have them built?
Can I buy them?
I had thought to reassemble on the back the original springs,
But I gave them to a friend.a lot of time.fa...
Thanks for the advice

Hello, gianni, can you tell us what rear shocks you have?

For street E3 cars I usually have used Bilstein B8 front, B6 rear. The B6 have circlip grooves for adjustable location on the shock body to raise/lower.

Hi DP,
Thank you for your reply...
I have this on my E3

Looks like you are already on the higher setting.

Only way is to replace with stock springs I would guess. Who made the ones you currently have? I surmise someone would want them as most wish to lower their car rather than raise it.

Have you looked in there to make sure there's not another groove higher up? Mine have 3 grooves showing.

My goodness, unless you have REALLY REALLY rough roads, steep incline/declines, and hauling 5 people each over 100kilos, I think your E3 looks awesome at that height!
