While discussing replacement springs, Steve Schwenk said in part:

The Lost Ranger Queries:

Do all '85s have taller springs? My Westy sits annoyingly high in the nose. I bought it from the original owner, and I'd assumed he put taller springs in the front. Maybe not. Any other '85s seem nose high.

I'd like to lower the front to level with (or slightly below) the rear. Any suggestions? I've thought of putting Carat springs all round. Anyone actually done this to a Westy? How did it work?

All civil input appreciated.
