Reply to "Front ride height adjustment."

Yes I cried.

Back to the Spyder.

When I loosened the A2 nut, that whole piece slid up by itself. I did have the front end jacked up on stands with the wheels removed. I adjusted B1 to meet A3 and tightened B2 and A2. I then put the wheels back on and lowered it, rolled it back and forth while turning the wheels from left to right. Some sitting on the fenders to compress the shocks did also occur.

It doesn't take much of a movement of the A3 piece to make a huge difference on the ride height. I turned my car into a Gasser.

I had to readjust. So this time I rolled the front wheels up on some ramps and crawled underneath. This time I adjusted B1 halfway between where it was originally and where it was after my first attempt. I then loosened A1 and I used the weigh of the car to drop it down to meet B1 and tightened everthing up. This looked pretty close. Now I've got to wait for a dry day to take it out for a run before I know for sure.

If this is the height that it needs to be, I might up the rear coilovers a notch. Or maybe not, aren't these cars supposed to handle better with the front a touch higher than the rear?
