George I do agree KONI makes fine product but also sometimes a little pricey ... have you part numbers for the Pantera ??
Spring Rates I still need to do some research .. my problem is the ride height ..to level the rear arms and level the front a arms ... NO DROPPED floors ... I think the stiffer springs will be a must to avoid bottoming out.
With the car set where both lower a arms are almost level. The rockers are level ..the tire diameters are the same ... Tomorrow I will pull a string and see what I have to for ground clearance.
Thats next some minor mods to the suspension to make it all work .. what I have observed is the upper a arms in both front and back will have an steep upward angle to meet the ball joint .. this worries me .. more research.
The sway bars .. I;m on it I agree this is a must ...
Thanks Ron
