OK, today I decided to go at the rear end of my car. Since switching out the trailing arms the rear of the car hasn't felt quite right. So I adjusted the ride height so it wasn't bottomed out anymore (just one turn of the bushing on both sides. The car now sits a tad high in the back but has a kind of 'hot rod' look that looks a little old school, so I'm good with it for now.
The front still needs to be raised to equal the rear so the car sits level and I'll do that in the next few days or so.....maybe. I say maybe because I just got back from a little evening cruise through the twisties and when ever I'd go over a rise in the road (the whoopty dooz)the front of the car was all over the place! Now I know these cars have front weight issues but I never had this problem (or at least it wasn't as obvious) when the rear was lowered. My fear is it'll get worse when I adjust the front. I can't be havin a car that's got a mind of it's own when I'm tearin up on the back roads.
Aside from putting the spare up front for extra weight, what else can be done to keep the car solid when being launched?
And does anyone know if the adjustable spring plates are capable of being 'tuned' a little more than using the spring plate bushing?
