Post subject:  Will I need problem-solvers with stock ride height?

I've been driving around for some time with sagging rear springs and the the front lowered 1" to match. Looks nice to me, but I'm tired of scraping the exhaust. I just had a guy make a Y-pipe for my split headers and I don't want to wear it out.

So when I rebuild the front end, I plan to set the ride height to stock - or maybe lowered 1/2" in front. The tires will be 0.7" taller than the 185 80R13s I have, so that should add 0.35" clearance.
I am going with Lou's prescription for a basic stock-type upgrade:

"Camber = negative 0.2-3 degrees, matched on both sides
Caster = positive 1 degree, matched
Toe = 0.05 - 0.10" total (add both sides) "

It seems like those problem-solver bushings would not be needed for these settings and stock ride height.

Should I install standard UCA bushings or problem-solvers?


The Plan for the 63 Signet:

10" sbp drums
.870 t-bars
new rear springs - poly bushings?
moog rubber front end kit
14 x 5.5 stock wheels w/ P205 70R14 all around
