Upon installing the engine on my coupe, the suspension will not drop from full up position. There's nothing binding, the shocks are not locked. I've rolled the car back & forth also. I can get it to move down some by me bouncing on the front, but I can't believe that the rest of the stuff that has to be installed weighs that much. I've left the upper & lower control arm bolts loose also, so that can't be it. Has anybody ever had this happen to them? I've dropped engines into large Fords & they've responded normally. The only thing I should add is that the front springs are from my now gone 240D, but that car has a lighter engine with no turbo, so I would think the car would sit even lower right? Any info appreciated. Paul.
