 It would be useful to know the lengths of the springs too, and how much the rear has been lowered.

I believe Judson Manning in another posting mention you were using 250 Lb. 8 inch springs on the rear, and he recommended 175-200 for a street car. I'll be using mine on the street and not racing it... its being re-built as what the British call a "fast road car"....

I'm doing the engine and hope to get 180-190 hp or thereabouts from it, going to the Toyota 5-speed and want an uprated suspension to suit it.

I've thought about going to 15 in. wheels, mainly to improve the tire selection; but that's pretty expensive (I reckon on £1000 for a full set of 5 wheels & tires ~ $2k) and the money can be spent more effectively elsewhere and I can live with the limited range of tires available.
