front spring length

pmfranke · #1 (**permalink**) 02-06-2007, 11:36 AM

coil over spring doesnt seem to be long enough to keep my tires from hitting the fender , i turned coilover adjuster to the top and it's still to low. free length of the spring is 8" it's grey powdercoated and has qa1 ms 365 s printed on it. all the pic's i see have the adjusters all the way down and the springs are chrome. Did i get the wrong spring???????? I have a 351 in my car not a 302 if that matters. Help please.

My adjusters are almost to the top but I haven't driven it enough to make sure it doesn't hit. How much room do you have above the tire and the fender opening?
