Then when we were on this year's MSA Euroclassic touring Spain and France in our E-Type Roadster I spoke to one of the Austin Healey drivers on the run and explained my problem. He said that his local specialist had actually managed to raise his Healey, rather than lower it, so it appeared it was possible, although he wasn't sure exactly what had been done. Unfortunately the company he used was some way from me so not very convenient. On one of my trips to AH Spares I mentioned my dilemma, armed with the knowledge that a fix was possible. He said that the problem was probably just old, soggy springs and that replacing them with a new set should return the ride height to normal. The cost of these wasn't excessive and fitting them within my technical capabilities.

Now image your ride, let's say its a 1994 Honda Civic. Minus better tires and wheels, at stock ride height, it would probably roll similar to the Explorer, not flip but you would have to slow down. Lower that same Civic using Adjustable Coilovers, 3 inches lower, and try that horseshoe bend. It will act more like the Vette.
