Step one of setting alignment is setting the ride height. Make sure you've got at least a minimum of 1/4" rake, the front has to be lower than the rear. You can measure the difference at the front and back edge of the rocker panels. Be careful going too low, you'll run out of suspension travel and the car will ride very rough, probably handle better, but ride like a buckboard. Also if you've got low profile tires on 15" wheels, and you lower the car alot, you may start scraping. |
