Re how to lower an A the old fashioned way

[newshirt]

Ken, consider returning the car to original. I know that may sound quaint and stupid, but there is a lot of value and enjoyment in the Model A as Henry built it. There are tons of resources for choosing the correct parts to return your car to original. For instance, you could start with the 'Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards' -- an awesome work. And there are others, and guys on this forum to help.

This is a restoration forum for stock Model A's. In other words, we're restoring the cars to original condition, as they came off the factory floor. There's another forum for mods you're describing. I'm sure you can respect that.
