Yes that's correct, CB drop spindles and koni reds still, and just one pair caster shims[ that's for those that think you need more, well at 158mph you don't  Wink ]

I like the stance. Do you run adjusters, or dropped spindle only? What tire size are you using on the porsches?

BTW cool trip, like it!

The beam does have adjusters in it from when I 1st got it and lowered it that way, drop spindles came later, tyres are 24.5/3.6 M&H DOT fronts and 245/55/15 M&H DOT rears
