Oh yeah, like kyle was saying... The cheap way to get that rake would be to drop the front by "cupping" the front A-arms. You weld a piece of (5"?) pipe to the bottom of the A-arm in the length of your desired drop distance and cap it, basically extending the lower spring mount. Works well and maintains stock ride quality. No need to increase spring rates for a harsher ride. Overload springs in the back would give a nice rake.
Actually boys, the car is not yet finished. In fact, my goal is to finish about 1 week before IPD and hope that I can get the thing tuned up enough to get down there from Olympia. I expect I can, I just have these dual dellorto 40s on a built motor and cant find parts (jets, venturis, etc), so I think I will probably end up taking it to a carb shop even though I would like to do my own tuning. So the car will be down there and it will still have that new car smell, too! After that, I will surely do a brickboard post with pics and specs for those interested in a Volvo that is a bit different!
Thanks,
Josh
