    <span style="color:blue">thats to allow for the weight of the driver....
    there is always a driver but not always a passenger....
    when wheel alignment is carried out CORRECTLY....weight should be added
    to the drivers seat to simulate the weight of the driver before the alignment
    is carried out.....


    how many times have you seen that happen.....????
    hence the emphasis on the word "correctly"......


    any how.....if you were to sit in it and get someone else to measure....
    the figures would be a lot closer.....may not be spot on due to age and some sag
    in the springs.....but should be very close to even....</span>

    Zook that was with me sitting in the drivers seat and with my bro in law measuring up .

    Also i totally agree on the wheel alignment issues , there are only 1 wheel alignment specialst BARRY CURNOE SUSPENSIONS in Myaree WA he does that and also balances your wheels on the car at the same time ....

    <span style="color:blue">go take his temperature......he may not be well.....
    i guarantee you that most wheel alignment places wouldnt even know
    that to do the alignment correctly they need to first check and correct tyre pressures...
    let alone know about ballast in the drivers seat.....



    as for your springs...try swapping the rears left to right.....(they are
    easier than the fronts)....
    or simply fit some spacers to level it out....

    or...dont worry about it and consider it normal.....</span>

    Were the springs the same height left and right before you put them in?

    Drive it for a while, then once the springs settle, remeasure and then use coil spring spacers to get it level. It is what I am planning to do.

    Don't get $crapiron Racing Springs, they have a horrible reputation on the Pommy boards. Anyone over there that has run Scrapiron has all sorts of problems with sagging, etc. The most respected and sought after spring on the UK boards is....OME :roll:
