74, stock 2.0, stock front swaybar - no rear bar, stock front inserts, may mount an older set of adjustable Koni's I already have on the back, either way 100 lb springs, 195/65 Eagle GT's.
Looking to have fun, not too worried about much else, but I have a few basic setup questions: I'm going to chalk the tires, but what pressure should I start at? Full tank, half tank or empty tank? Spare tire in or out? The konis need to be adjusted out of the car - soft, medium or firm (keep in mind I will have to live with it on NH streets too)? Should I overfill the oil a bit? If so how much? What am I missing? Thanks, Scott |
