Help adjusting rear ride height Options

[sixaddict]

Installed Bilsteins and thought I was raising ride height but it did not,
For higher, where do I position lower spring perch spring
I thought I knew what I was doing ( fatal character flaw)
If it is already in correct position how can I increase height
Thanks in advance for help

Did you start with new springs and set the bottom clip in slot 3 up from the shock bolt? I feel that you need to start with with new springs before you even try adjusting things. The rear should set slightly higher than the front. You need to measure the ride height from the tire to the fender lip. Spring choice is up to you depending on what kind of driving you are doing. Original 90# springs were weak at best on -4 cars, the -6 had 100# .

FWIW, ride height is NOT measured at the fender lip. The manual specifies the height in the front is measured from the center line of the torsion bar. I don't remember the rear measuring point, and it's not in the specs book. Probably the center line of the rear trailing arm pivot.
