Hey Josh,
Quick question for the .5 & 1 mil axle spacers. Where do you them??

I was looking at this and wondering why not do the fixed adjustments first?

Droop
Camber
Ride height
tweek

I was also wondering if stiction is measured as a component of ride height?

Another way of asking that is do you measure ride height from where the car settles onto the springs or where it rebounds to
?

If you try to set your camber while your ride height is off you will have some pretty messed up camber settings when the ride height is set correctly.

Ok then, so the ride height sets the position of the wheels (1) then the camber (2) The droop only changes the drop out of the suspention. I get that, I was thinking droop effected the position of the wheels, but the suspension is in sag.

What about the stiction question? Is ride height measured from the car rebounding of bottoming?

They really are not that short unless you are using a body other than a sedan.

They do seem kind of short when running a Mazda Speed 6. Roof height is set to pass roar tech inspection. I am running the top most hole on the body post. On my foam car with a Mohawk 2 the front post's have plenty of space.
