I bought a spring perch from gil a few months ago but have not
installed due to rear spring possibilities.

now that new springs are in..i think i need to look at the perch.

Gil told me: "there are 2 holes in the spring perch..how you mount it will raise or lower the front corner"..

.seems that is what my real problem is

flipper..I think I need to replace a spring perch ..i think the prior photo
of how my front spring rides is the diagnosis.

I will refer the perch install to a pro.

yes...i think the springs can be replaced by jacking up the car and not unbolting the panhard rod/shocks...but you will have more room if you do.
