Oops, my mistake Jim!I also have 235/75 R15, so the sidewall height should be identical to the ones on your car.
Now I only have to find out why mine is 4.5 inches to close to the floor... Rob----- Original Message ----- From: "JIM LORENZEN" <jdlpdx@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hey Robert -I don't know as much about tires as I probably should, but you may be onto something there. When I sent you the measurements from my '60 I should of added that the tires on my car are radials 235/75 R15. I think the difference in our two tire sizes is made up in the height of the sidewall and if so, would make mine sit higher off the ground than yours.Good Luck Jim L. in OR '60 Crown 4dr Southampton '62 Crown 4dr Southampton----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob van der Es" <r.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 1:18 AM Subject: Re: IML: Front End Height '60 ImperialWell Paul,There is no squeeking at all, actually the car drives and handles very well. It is only that the front is too close to the street, I would like to have it set 4 or 5 inch higher.Allthough I must admit that the nose is NOT angled down to the street. The car seems prettty level to me, it is just as if the total car has been lowered..One memory crossed my mind, could this situ be caused by the tyres that were put on the car by the previous owner??It are radials and the dimensions are 235/70 R15.I don't know how this compares to the original tyres that were used in the sixties?Robert----- Original Message ----- From: <randalpark@xxxxxxx>To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 3:06 AM Subject: IML: Front End Height '60 Imperial This is in reference to the front suspension on a '60 Imperial. There should be no "bottoming out" sensation what so ever. It is possible that the torsion bars need to be adjusted, or it is also possible that the car needs front suspension repair work. If there is an squeeking coming from the front of the car, the repair work is necessary for sure.

If it's bottoming out, than you have some sort of problem. -Kle.
