   Need to raise the rear end a little

   My 81 ZX sits too low in the rear. I installed new front struts and rear shocks. The front end lifted nicely but the back is too low. When you are looking at it there is no gap between the wheel well and the tire. Could my springs be worn out and if so where to buy? Car has 158K miles and I just dont think the coil springs could be worn out but that is the only thing that holds the body off of the rear axle. Any suggestions?

   Can't find brake part

   I gaulded the threads on the bottom caliper pin (sub pin) on the left side front brakes. This is the lower of the two pins. I can't seem to find that pin anywhere. I don't even think it comes with a whole replacement caliper. Any suggestions on where to look?

   Rewinds hit calipers!

   Got my Rewinds today and they just touch the brake caliper which prevents them from seating. I measured and measured and it looks like I will have to grind about a tenth of an inch off of the outside of the caliper just where it touches the rim. The larger brake caliper will have to be ground at the point of the raised "rib" just a bit. I called MSA and they confirm that this is appropriate. Anyone else have this experience?
