Stance about right?

looks good- but even if it was a bit high in the back, that's not a bad thing for a real world driver.. it leaves a little clearance for a full tank of gas, a passenger or 3, and some junk in the trunk.
unless you're running an air ride system or something like that, of course..

Sound advice. Cool pic and it looks great, especially if you intend to use and enjoy the car.

I think it is easy to forget that we might pile a few hundred pounds of family/friends into these cars on occasion along with a cooler, some chairs, etc... and go to an event many clicks of the odometer away and it would be really beneficial for that to not make for suddenly sucky characteristics out of the stance that looked killer in the garage or at the curb.

Thanks for the reminder of that novaderrik.

I have stock control arms using steel shell/derlin bushings all around. GW offset cross shafts. I did the alignment using the FastTrax tool. Caster was around 3 degrees from what I remember. Sorry, I don't have those numbers in front of me right now. Camber was -.5 degree and toe at 1/16 inch I think.

As for driving reviews, I've only had street time on the car, no competition inspired driving if you you know what I mean. LOL! So far all I can say is, man, what a difference. I don't know if it was because my old suspension was so worn out. The steering is neutral and responsive. Turns are flat. No more feeling like the Queen Mary in high seas.

Good point regarding the load. I almost never have passengers but I have been known to load up for a road trip. I guess I should test that.

Thanks again guys.
