Well I got my ride height pretty close. At this point im about 1/4" from side to side and it changes depending on how level the concrete is and how the car stopped. If I stop the car and measure it, then wiggle the car side to side the ride height might change by 1/2" depending on how it settles. Anyhow I had to make a plate out of steel to match the SC&C spacers I got with my A arms to make it happen but in the end its ok and I think i'm done messing with it. Here are the spacers you get with the SC&C spec'd lower A arms. The one I made out of 1/4" plate with a sawzall, hole saw, drill bits and a dremel tool/carbide bit is pretty obvious....





I also go my alignment all setup in the car. It took the guy about 2 hours to get it right and he used to set up Indy cars from my understanding. He took it out and drove it made some changes a few times and the job totalled about 2 hours. I'm glad i didn't try to do it....

Here are the final specs....They are spot on to what SC&C recommend. SC&C gave 3 specs. Street. Street/track. Track. After talking to Marc I went with the Street/Track setting. I am VERY happy with the end result here. It was a ton of research, work and money but the car handles like a champ even with the 15" wheels and 60 series tires on it and rides smooooooth. Iv'e heard the 18's and modern tires make a massive difference as well. I'm pretty excited for that to happen later on.
