Thanks for your reply, Brian. But I get back to one of my original questions. Focusing on the result and not the solution, wouldn't to car have done just as well using .45 front springs and left the shock mount in stock configuration? I look at that elevated ball and think that it would be overloading the front under certain conditions. That is why the .050 front spring. The lower shock angle would be less sensitive to small change and allow more opportunities for fine level tuning. I don't really know without trying it and want your thoughts when presented that choice.
