Am I lucky or what? Ride height perfect on first try!

I spent the day upgrading my TB's from the stock 19/25 Carrera bars to 22/29 Sway-a-ways, and was prepared to spend the whole weekend doing the rears 2 or 3 times....nope! Thanks to Wil Ferch's calculations and the spring plate angle calculator, my ride height came out dead-on on the first try. All 4 fender lips are within 1/4" of Euro height! Ya think I was lucky?

A little more than luck was involved but I'd still say yes, you were lucky.

Looks great!

Are you bringing that sweet looking ride to the "Porsche Gathering" in Firestone, Co on April 17th?

Tonka, I hope so but I doubt it will be complete by then. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I did the same thing ,quickly droped it off the jack to settle the suspension and measured
it. Came out perfect. Drove it about 25 miles remeasured and it had settled 1/2 an inch
adjusting the spring plates brought it back up though.
