<VV> Pushing up the rear

[Tom Hughes]

Normal shocks will not change the ride height. Yes, on the '64, the rear
springs have different stiffnesses for left and right. A less desirable
option than replacing the coil springs is to find and install a spring
spacer block in each coil. A quick search on the web showed, however, that
the spacers would be difficult to locate.
