I think I have a 1" rear spacer on the bottom of my spring. I would like to take it out to make my car have less rake. My question is how much camber change will 1 in of lowering make? Thanks

Math!?! It's easier to just have the car re-aligned after raising/lowering. 'Specially since it has to be done anyway.
Nice job on the flare Andrew. |

Those spacers are actually for the Koni's. The Bils have the grooves in the shock body.

Thanks for posting this question Andrew. Thanks for all these answers too, guys. I figured I'd need to do something in the way of alignment after getting the Bils but had no idea of why.
Now this IS the real reason this site is so gud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) ...........b |

QUOTE(mikez @ Jan 1 2004, 08:57 PM) What is the minimum number of turns that are recommended on studs to hold a Fuchs on safely? I have that inforation in a race manual somewheres.......in a pile....if I could remember where the pile was..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) From the PCA "Wheel bolt/lug nut engagement must be at least one times the bolt/stud diameter. This is nine turns on a Porsche set-up." Dan, (not Andrew, (but it's my computer)) |
