Help adjusting coil overs
 
I put coil overs in the front and rear of my car. What am I looking for when adjusting them? I know how to do it, but do I want the car to sit level from side to side and front to rear? Does the rear need to be higher, more tension on the right rear, etc. Anybody running these could give me some basic rules as far as what a starting point. Thanks

Sorry I don't know but I am looking into that as well. How much did the coil over kit cost you? Were you able to still use your stock K-member and front control arms?
Thanks

For roadracing, you wish to balance the car.
Look at my site, then download the Excel spreadsheet from the end of the GRIGGS install photos. Use that program to balance your car.
Now for drag racing, you might wish to raise/lower the front relative to the rear...

I bought the groundpounder front k member with coilovers and tubular A arms. I also bought the rear coilover kit that goes over the stock shocks. I got all this from Muscle motors on Ebay. I think I paid about $800 for everything shipped to my door.
