When you guys are referring to "get the car level" what are your reference points? Fender well to ground, or frame, or driveline level?
I'm in the middle of doing this, and right now I have 1.5" difference f/r on the fenderwell difference.
Thanks guys, didnt mean to highjack the thread, I'm curious to see the results of this buildup!

I try to keep the rockers, the body line under the door level

I want to get bigger front tires so it looks better. 25s F-28s R looks weird... the wheel well gaps, with the rockers level.

also helps to have adjustable rear spring cones. i am installing a set this winter to help with scaling the car and getting weight where it needs to be.

My car is far from level with the 28's on it now.

Should I drop the rear or raise the coil overs on the front?

Are you running stock style springs, or something like an afco or qa1 2.5" dia spring with the adjusters?

I've seriously considered making a set of these adjusters one evening, having full ride height control at each corner would be awesome.

With the adjusters and all would it still be consider stock style suspension for class rules?

Either way it'll look like crap when I switch to my street tires (26") to drive home. Maybe I can convince the wife I need 2 more BS street lites and some 275/60 dr's

Still waiting on a couple parts

Ie abs delete

I'm sure mike won't dyno it Til car is complete and I didn't ask him when that would be as I don't like to be pushy to my tuner . I like to let him do his this

My guess is dyno time is not very far away though

I'll post as soon as I know
