Thanks guys, the stagger is adjustable, and I am not finished. The links on the levers move it around... but I think stiction plays a factor here as well... lots of parts that have not had their new wear in yet. I can balance it, climb out and back in and it changes 10-15 lbs. The scales are as level as the eye can tell with a 6' level on a 15' extrusion checking every direction. So I will put it on the ground, make sure I am at the correct ride heights... if I have to change it... back to the scales.
OK so the springs I have are 185's in the front and 235's in the back. Things to consider... the front springs are about 18 inches apart on a straight axle that has a 45 inch track. The rears have the same spring width on a 31 inch track... remember the rear is on a swingarm so there is a minimum of flex side to side. I'm not a suspension guy, but I think the levers enter into this equation... which for me was trial and error.... probably more error than trial
.
The old car really had visible more than functional shocks, with the rear suspension air shocks and usually had 325 lbs of air in them. These shocks are fully functional, but so far they are set to minimum compression and rebound. I have dyno sheets on them, but even at minimum is still hard to move.
LJohn, if there's anything else I need to tell you just let me know
