I am repairing a 123gt which was found beneath a Banana tree, apparently it had been there for about 10 years. I am well down the track now, the engine and gearbox are back in, and I have replaced the components in the front and rear suspension, as required.
The car now sits too high!! 5 inches between the tire rim and the lower outer edge of the guard, both front and rear!! All components are correct>
Should the KY gas shocks be fitted when the car is down on its springs? I fitted the shocks with the car hoisted, they (the shocks) were fully extended, I thought the car would settle but it sits up!!!
Do I have an easy fix, just put the shocks on with the car weight down, or may I have another issue.??
Thank you for your advice,

TAM (This Ageing Male)
