engine in & running
 
with the engine in it sets a little lower in the rear, does the front look to high?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1066526584.jpg

Really nice looking car!! Could be a little high but I'd drive it some first to let everything settle down. I measure my cars from the floor to the bottom of the heater channels front and rear to see how much it is up or down. Make sure the floor is level and then adjust the bolts at the torsion bars in front and don't forget an alignment might be needed afterwards.

I think the front looks a little high, but I like mine really low.

I believe that the "stock" setting for the front suspension causes the car to appear squat in the back. As if it were leaning backwards. I offset the stock torsion bar setting by one (1) spline, then re-adjusted the torsion bar caps back to the middle of the adjustment. Final adjust each side for ride height. Check alignment. Front now sits about two inches lower and still has decent travel. Looks much cooler with the front dam near the ground...:D :D :D
