<VV> Lowering LM Front End

[kcvair at netscape.com]

My '65 Corsa has one round of spring cut off and car has a nice lowered look to it, however it bottoms out easily especially with a little weight in the trunk.  I don't recommend it.  Ken Clark

Again, be careful how much you cut the springs. Experience has taught me 
that it will settle beyond where you want it after driving it some. No 
amount of bouncing the front end in the shop will replicate actual driving.
