I wouldn't. Your setup is very close to the Truhe setup that most people use as a baseline. I can usually keep my car close to the rail whether it's on or off power. You only want to change one thing at a time anyway. Make sure the suspension is free, then set your toe, then try ride height. Small changes make a big difference with this car. If it's the 8ight 1.0, check the rear outer hinge pins and make sure they're not bent. They've been known to do that. You can go either to the 2.0 hing pins or M2C makes some also. A little bigger, you have to drill the a-arm and hub carrier, but no more bending.
