lowered, aligned, and balanced
It was all very educational....I have a new found respect for this car. With stiffer torsions and a proper cb balance it rides like a dream.

Isn't that cool how much of a difference that makes?
I re-did mine using the tripod method and was just amazed at the difference. What's the ride height at the fender lips on yours?

Great stance. Once I do my rear suspension, I will do the CB.

What size torsion bars did you go with? Any other suspension mods? Do tell.
Thanks, Eddy |

What was the cost please.
Mine came in at $125 for alignment and about $600 for the corner balance. I did height, tripod method, and string alignment first at home. Shop alignment second. Then final corner balance with stock sway bars disconnected, my weight in the car, and no preload when sways reconnected w me in the car. |

30mm rear 22 mm front torsions
After CB I think the ride height came about around 24.75 front and 24.25 rear although each fender measured differently.
