I'd like to lower my front end a bit (1-2") to improve the stance. I was going to do this by adjusting the torsion bars down appropriately, but was wondering if and how this would affect the camber. I don't want to increase the wear on my tires too much and would appreciate any help on this matter. Also, is there anything else I need to be concerned with regarding this plan? Thanks in advance. |

You will probably get some more negative camber when you drop the front end. How much, and whether or not it is objectionable, there is no way to know until you make the adjustment and find out. The nice thing about the height adjustment is that it is easily reversible. Please note that as you increase the "rake" (front drop compared to rear static height) you also lessen the effective (positive) caster angle, which is not desireable (but again, if your caster is already good and maxed out, the effect will not be all that noticeable). You should recheck toe after you drop the front, too. D/W |

Ok.... How do I check toe-in? and, is the camber adjustable? |

Tape measure and chalk. ...or a long stick. ...or whatever. Gotta run, will go into detailed procedure later, unless someone else wants to explain. Yes to camber adjustability, but more involved than toe.D/W |

OK I will try to explain... Dennis can walk, Then his feet start going faster, and faster, and then he is running. It is just like walking real fast! There is no real need to adjust his toes, he can run with them as they are... |
