just use the wt. in the Tech. Spec. Booklet and subtract the differential wt.s for replaced parts & the total wt.s for discarded parts

2250-2300 lbs. just a guess. Get it on the scales and corner balance it. It's worth it!

Don't you just want to turn the torsion bars until the inclination of the spring strut, aka radius arm, aka spring arm, is 35 degrees (34 with Bilstein shocks)? Start by disconnecting the shock (lower connection only) and trailing arm (at spring strut only) from one side, remove the lower rear bolt from the T-bar end cover, and measure the spring strut using a magnetic protractor, with it hanging free - it will probably be about 38 degrees. Put a protractor on the door sill to take into account the car not being level.

Are you sure your car is an RoW model? It seems too high...

Also, do a search for rear ride height adjustment...I think the reduced weight needs to be factored in. You will also, during adjustment, want to verify that your T-bars measure 24.1 mm. You can probably figure that your car weighs about 2600-something pounds, but you should find a local, to you, scale and weigh it.

Those bumperettes are 7.5 pounds each... Removed mine a while ago.

take it to a truck stop or DOT scales when closed, most leave the scales on and viewable through the window. Minerva blue, the best color!!!
