Well, we were going for compromise between "Euro" (15-16 degrees) and "race" height (17-18 degrees), and the first try was 16.8 degrees! On the other side, it took three tries to get 16.3 degrees (those numbers are adding the 0.5 degrees based on sill angle). If we hadn't found a broken-off grease fitting on one of the PolyBronze bushings, the rears would be done...

Dr. K. goes nuts with the grease again, and as usual the rear end suffers... :lol:

John,
Where did you end up on the setting?

24.7 plus - 1.6 at door sill (26.3) got me close to 25 inches at the wheel well. Still need to do some tweaking.

Thanx for the help.

Not a thread steal (or at least not intentional), but for comparison, I went with 16 degrees, 24.5" at the wheel well. Lighter car, stiffer bars.
