Spring shims

Years ago when I removed the spacers from my springs the car sat noticably lower on the left side. I assumed that the springs had sagged some due to the fuel tank being on that side and a lot of miles without a passenger. I used the two thinner spacers and installed on both the front and rear on the left side. Car looked level and that's how it was for 15 years and 60,000 miles.

This condition could be from the factory; no two car are the same and this right out of the factory.

It sounds like I need to replace my springs then if I'm understanding evreyone here. Any recommendations on springs? I'm looking for primarily a street car used maybe 5 times a year on a track. I drive the car about 15,000 miles a year so I don't want my fillings to fall out everytime I drive it. Vince

korina...... Get with SWENDOG and see if he can help. In 2004 he hooked us up with a set of Alden Eagles. Double Adjustable........and they are outstanding! I adjust a bit firmer for autox, and down for day-2-day. Super quality. (You just had to pick the spring rates you wanted.......I went with 350fr and 550rr)

Most Panteras that I scrutinize closely have the rear fender almost 1/2 inch higher over the right rear tire verses left tire. While you can dial this out with adjustable springs or shims, you are compromising your vehicle's cornering ability because you are messing up your corner weighting. Check the respective hieghts of the lower swing arms where they meet the hubcarriers. Even height here is more critical. I think you will be pleased to learn they are even. I'll bet if you swap your rear shocks, left for right, your right side will still be higher. Check this first before spending money uneccessarily on new shocks.

Hi Bob
I just picked up a set of Alden eagles double adjustables, but I got 400 and 500 what did you come up with for adjustment? They are going on my 73. Thanks Ron Egidio (5263)
