Hey all,
Just looked at their page and it seems like the DVS IRS system doesn't
have any option for ride height adjustment aside from changing the springs.
I've got a '70 convertible just as pictured and that ride height looks kind
of high - don't know about you guys, but I like a little lower-than-stock
look. The TCP system (real pricey at almost $5,000) gives about 3 inches of
ride height adjustment, but is not IRS. Looks ready to handle lots of
torque and HP better than the IRS system though.

DVS now has a lowered ride height option. I think it lowers it about an inch and a half. Oddly enough, most of the current information is not on their website but rather in their newsletter. I have a link to it somewhere which I'll try to dig up.
