Hi. What size lifter does one need to fabricate in order to "lift" the front/rear suspension of the Europa to fit larger and taller size wheels ? And if anyone has done this trick how did it affect your chassis integrity and ride quality ? Am currently beginning a 'frame-up' restoration of a 70 Europa. Any comments are appriciated . (yes,yes, I can't spell wroth squat I know) shane.

Your car, your right, but why in the world would you want to do that?

See if you can find some Spax dampers with adjustable spring perches. With stock springs and the perches as low as possible the nose of the Europa will sit about 1-2" too high. With shorter springs you can get to stock ride height or even lower.

With the nose high you'll get understeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr and significant aero lift even at fast highway speeds.

Europas work best with a slight rake (nose slightly down).

Cheers,

Hopefully you're not wantin to put some honkin 20 inch spinners on it..... I have 15 inch wheels on my adaption and they JUST fit.
