I would like to report that I got the brakes done and wheels bolted up tonight and took it for a small brake break-in drive and the car sits VERY close to level now, if not perfect, within a 1/4" it seems.
I don't think that's correct. Think of how all the rear end components sit in the rear. TA, LCAs, Springs, etc. Now if the rear was more towards the left with everything still attached it would pull the left rear further forward. Having the left side further forward would cause the car to be higher on that side. Causing the car to lean towards the right.

Think of it like a pendulum. Let it hang there then try to pull it one way or the other. What's it going to do? Well, it's going to work itself in a circle as the string's length that's holding it in place isn't changing. The same idea would work with the rear suspension. The TA and LCAs length are static. If the rear would move one way or another it would then move up / down on one side.

no spare tire...how much can it weigh though...not much. as far as acceleration goes, its just a v6 so it doesnt move out hard and i dont drive it hard, but whatever, im just going with those spacers.
