Mine is a 3/5 from CPP. Might go a little lower in the front.

72BlckButy · 12-02-2012, 01:38 AM

I know it's not what you asked for but here's a shot of my 4.5/6" drop running 20's front and rear.

I think you are right...I will just add a little to the back to even out...I don't want to cut the frame..will this give me enough room not to bottom out.

Yes, check out member original 71 he has the kit with a 1/2 block in the rear. Looks great and no frame mods just cut the bump stop a bit

I also have the ECE kit but I had them give me the shorter front spring which makes the kit 4.5/6

I'm not using a c-notch but I wish I was. It doesn't happen often but it bottoms out when I hit a dip too quickly.

bugmasta · 12-02-2012, 02:01 AM

Ece is great. Used their 4/6 kit for mine.

Thanks! This pic was as we were loading it up to go to the glass shop last week. Should be buttoning everything up tomorrow. Early classic enterprises made the suspension a snap converting from c20 to c10.
