Troy,

I like your front ride height, and I wanted to know how much you cut off your adjusters.

I just received my tall, non-adjustable speedway adjusters. These adjusters have 3 inches of section to play with.

thanks.

I *think* I cut about an inch off them... but I'll dig them down tomorrow and take measurements for you. They're up in the rafters right above the car at the moment and I don't want to move it just to get the ladder in there. :)

They were not adjusted evenly, the driver's side ended up 3/8" of an inch taller. I had to do that to make the ride height even side to side and it also got the corner weights of the car matched within 20 lbs side to side in front and back.

I'll get a crossmember to ground height for you too.

Here is a thread I posted asking the same Q:

I really would recommend the adjustable version. I adjusted mine twice before finding a ride height that I was happy with. Mine also varied about 3/8-1/4" from L to R. I believe my driver's side needed to be higher. I think I ended up with more than 3.5", less than 3.75" shim height.

BUT....since Troy pointed out that those shims will not work with Varishocks, I will be making my own. At least I know what length I need.

What # springs will you be running? Any other parts that are not stock that may affect shim height?
