Dan, Attached pic shows my white JH without engine and tranny, but with everything else except fuel in the tank.  It also has DMS uprated springs ...   11-18-2007 01:48 pm

Interesting.   I used DMS uprated springs on both my cars and did not see any noticable height change http://jhppg.com/gallery/album61/After4 with the car fully weighted. My springs were ...   11-16-2007 11:58 am

Ron, Free length is less than the stock spring, but I do not see how that matters as long they offer proper load at valve seated height.  ...   07-07-2007 12:40 pm

Thanks to all for the tips and advice.  I was able to get a nice (but expensive) set from Dave Bean.  They found me a set ...   07-06-2007 09:34 pm
