Ride height, Is there a right way to set it? Options

[qa1142]

Ok, so my 30 year old springs we a little droopy in the rear. I took 2 turns out of each front torsion bar adjusters.

Car looks closer to level, still drives good, but measure ground to wheel well and I am not even side to side.

Where should I be measuring ride height? Is there a right way?

Does anyone bother to do this on scales to set the "tweak" like on my Radio Controlled cars? Does that matter for daily driver?

Ride heigth is always important. so is spacers under the rack to keep tie rods at the right angle. new springs and shocks are always a good idea. Match to what you intend to use the car for. ie. don't get 180lb rear springs for the street. match the torsion bars to the springs.

Corner balance is only necessary if you drive it like you stole it. (only way to drive these cars).

Then after all that is done a good alignment will go a long way to drivability. Autocross, road race, and street driven would require different settings.

When you are ready someone here can get you the settings. Man I didn't think I had that much hot air in me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
