Hi-Lo Suspension Kit Includes all four Hi-Lo trumpets plus the two extended aluminum struts required for the rear. Many people will tell you why you should consider upgrading to the classic "Hi/Lo" suspension so I should not be bashful in giving my opinion! The best reason is for balance! The total adjustability of ride heights allows you to very accurately balance the corner weight of the car. This is very important if precise handling is your objective! Yes, I will admit that all the classic reasons also apply: "It's neat and I want it!" "It's easy to change ride heights" "It was designed years ago for Special Tuning rally program" "It allow you to some what compensate for too old rubber cones" The early designed kits required the use of a special long handle allen wrench to adjust, most modern kits no longer need special tools. C-STR644 is just such a kit. Easy to install and adjust!

Question:
Greetings, I have a MK1 I am working on. It was built as a Hydro car and is now a dry car. I am trying to sort out the suspension. It rides too high and is hard on the bump stops. From what I gather there are wet and dry upper radius arms in the front. How can I determine if it has the correct upper radius arms? I have looked at on line pictures and can not tell which I have. Thank you. Spencer. Spencer Restorations
Answer:
The upper arm typically has a part number cast into them. The right side wet arm is a 21A1479, the dry version is 21A2690.   If the car is ridding on the bump stop changing the arm will not solve your issue. The metal trumpets to the cones may have been cut- I would suggest to invest in a Hi/Lo conversion kit. The other possibility is that the rubber cones themselves are simply old and collapsed. 
 
 
 
 
Question:
If changing to a hi/lo kit, do I need to change my shocks to a shorter length also?
Answer:
Not typically unless you plan to run the car much lower than reasonable for a street car.

A surprising number of racers still avoid dealing with them, as with geometry in general they're seen as another 'black art'. Not at all alleviated by the sight of the well-to-do single seater teams producing computer controlled, highly accurate scales to make last minute corner weight adjustments or slipping wafer-thin shims in between steering arms and hubs.
