Default Twisted frame? can it be fixed?

i think my frame might be twisted a litte cause from behind my car looks crooked. i want to put some SFC on it but should i have the frame checked first or what?
I've been to the track alot and always launch at 6k on spray so that might have something to do with it.

What he said.

My car looked really crooked after the 12-bolt install. I jacked the car up, put jack stands under the frame and let the rear hang. I think one or both of the springs might have been out of shape. It make a little clunk noise when I removed the jack from under the pumpkin, and straitened itself out.

If you really twisted something then your doors would fit funny and your windows/T-tops would probably leak.

Default Sprung Out

There is a certain way to install your springs. If you don't install them correctly your car's suspension will react choppy also the car will not look rite. Remember you also have those rubber spring cups up in there to.
