I'm fairly certain the rear springs on my 1934 Master need to re-arched. The car looks low to me. If anybody is in the back seat its really low.

What is the correct height for the rear of the car and how do you measure it?

I can find specifications in the manual for the knee action system but I can't find specifications for the rear of the car.

Thanks,

Jeff

If you can't find the height in a reference, you can always specify the added height you wish the car to sit to the shop that will do the work. This has worked for me in the past.

Chevrolet did not furnish any specs for the rear.
When viewed from the side The top of the tire should be about 1 or 2" below the top of the fender opening.
