Spring plate angle question

[berettafan]

I'm pretty certain i know the answer to this but want to be sure before buttoning things back up...........


Rear of car is lifted but front is on groud;

Using my handy sears digital level i find that rear of car is raised (per rockers) at a 3.8 deg. angle.

Spring plate hangs (separated from trailing arm) at 32.1 deg.

Using Wil's calculator i find there is a 14-15 deg. difference req'd for same ride height when bumping from a 23 to 28mm t-bar.

So even though Wil's calculator is based on a level car can i not just look at the difference in angle and just subtract 14-15 deg. from my 32.1 to get an approximate setting?


I THINK this is a really stupid question but want to be sure.

ok, i talked to an architect next door and he tells me if i bring the 3.8* to 0* then the 32.1 becomes 35.9*.

Cool!

Just tested this with Wil's calculator and sure enough with car weight estimated at 2400 and 23mm stock bars the angle SHOULD be 36-37*! Very cool!
