I just finished this same project and I ran into a few issues you can avoid. Make 100% sure that the inside surface of the torsion tube where the inner rubber bushing goes is smooth and corrosion free. If it's not the bushing will hang and likely separate from the glue bond the spring plate.

Next, the spring plate calculator is good, but for me both sides required different angles to get the same ride height side to side. This was just plain trial and error; set the plates drop the car and measure.

Next for the actual ride height you will need to drive it. I went from 25.5" to 24.75" after driving around my neighborhood. Thankfully that was in the range I was shooting for, otherwise I would have pulled it apart again.

My final angle on my heavy SC was about 32 deg.
