I did a total suspension refresh, and the standard upgrades. New torsion bars, all new rubber, Turbo t-rods, new ball joints and Bilstien HD shocks. The car needed an alignment front and rear after all that. I wanted it at the "Euro" ride height, and I borrowed a friend's corner balance scales. I had a tech at the local dealership that is 40 years as factory trained tech. He let me watch and "help" with any help I could. Just a small change on one corner will make a change to the other three corners weight and ride height. It is just like a giant scale beam balance. Change one thing and the other end is affected.
In the end it did make a big difference in braking and overall handing. If you only drive on the street in a conservative manner, it is unnecessary. If you like spirited driving and curvy roads, and autocross or a track day, it makes a difference.
