could someone please tell me what position my front a arms should be when i slide the adjust levers onto the torsion bars. i know they should be installed close to the stops so the screw has the most travel.i assume i should slide them on when my tie rods are level then fine tune when i lower my floor jack and the weight of the car makes tie rod ends go up then i screw in adjust bolts to lower arm and re level tie rods?

Do you have a Haynes manual ?? It gives some good info as to arm height and such . Do a search here for torsion bar installs and tie rod adjustments . I'm sure others will chime in as there are a lot here that are way more experienced than me. Good luck....

Yup, you'll just need to slide them into place, lower the car and roll it back and forth a few times to settle the suspension, then check your ride height, A-arm level & tie rod level. Then adjust things until you get the settings where you want them (ultra-low, most comfortable, high performance, etc). Then you'll need a full alignment at the new ride height.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with Mark. Remember the "ride height" spec is the difference between the center of the wheel and the center of the torsion bar, the larger the number the lower the car sits.
