So I have read a few threads on ride height and many of the members are saying to set it to what you like... In my case, the car was level along the rockers and looked pretty good so when I changed out my control arms I put it back that way.
I started another thread on here asking about an online alignment calculator but instead of hijacking my own thread, I thought I would start this one since a tool such as that would be helpful in determining which way to turn the two eccentrics since it blows my mind at times. My issue as I attempt to align the car (71 Demon with new QA-1 control arms and adjustable strut rod) is that the camber seems to be excessively negative to the point I can't get camber and caster to both be in spec. I just had a thought... the two eccentrics are the only adjustment on the upper control arm but the torsion bar tensioner (ride height ) would affect camber, would it not?? And if I am correct, the fix for lack of positive camber adjustment would be....to lower the front, i.e. detension the torsion bars?
