Car will be dropped off this coming Tues. and I really hope it's not the frame. I took off prokit and replaced with stockers to lift the car up for clearance on the lift n the frame machine. I got my xpipe welds cut today for extra clearance so I'm hoping for some good news on Tues.

If all goes well on the frame, where can I take the car for an alignment? I need a good shop that will get it done right the first time. After I installed the stockers my height measurements are off all around: (passenger rear is sitting ridiculously high)

Ft L - 27 1/4. Ft R - 27 3/4

Rt L - 28 1/4. Rt R - 28 3/4

Worst case scenario the car will be parted out or sold complete. Will find out on Tues.

 

Assuming it was wrecked?

Anyway, don't be to concerned with having exact measurements, springs sag and ride heights vary. I had to cut pieces of coils at a time to get the rear of mine level. One of my prokits started to sag really bad, a good inch or so on the right rear. I took the stock springs and put them in the rear and cut them equally and they did not sit level. So that is when I cut them a little at a time to get them just right.

 

I seen numbers marked on the k-memer, sensors, etc. and the rear psgr quarter panel is cracking so I'm guessing that was the hit spot. The rear psgr is the only side that annoys me. It sits super high and looks ugly man. The title was clear when I financed it bk in 2004 so I guess there was no ins claim for it.

 

Oh that sucks bad dude. Well if nothing else you can have goofy hacked up springs like I do to get it just right. Mine doesn't appear to have ever been wrecked so I think it's just springs that are funky. You could even have one of those spring isolaters that is compacted a little more than the other one or something along those lines. Hope it turns out good for ya man.

 

Yea I thinking about cutting the stock springs for the back rear only. Not sure tho.
Did u cut the stock springs? Ur car sits nice!

*** nvm u cut the stockers ***

 

I thought mine was twisted for the longest time too, swapped in a set of springs that were far newer and viola, problem solved.

 

my 95 Z sat funny too.....was an inch or so lower on the Left front and Right rear....but it only did it after I started taking **** out for weight...

 

In for parts if it goes bad for you.

 

Yup you got it cut the stockers for the back. And I like them far better than my pro kit rear springs.

 

So tomorrow is the moment of truth...keep us posted man...good luck, hope all goes good.

 

Well shop said the frame is fine and straight in the middle. I'm guessing it all comes down to suspension. I'm still curious about the psgr qtr panel whether its been hit there.
Think its time to sand the qtr panel down.

What alignment shop do u SA guys recommend?

 

dude your car is way too nice to part it.... that thought would never have entered my mind if i had yor car.
