Alright. Scales are next on the list. I've got Afco front coil over sleeves over koni shocks and pigtails on the rear. I want to practice adjusting the coilovers in my garage to save time at the shop (or someone's garage). For someone's first time doing this, any tips?

I think what I want to do is set the ride height at home so all I need to do is tweak the suspension to dial in the corner weights.

So, that being said. I believe I've read that the front control arms should be more or less level to the ground. Same with the rear, correct? I think I'm sitting slightly lower than "level" right now.

I think people buy heater hose or something to slip over the rear pigs to adjust height? I think I'm on 250# 11" springs with no isolators. I'm going to purchase 200" springs to use with isolators if the rear is too tight on the track. How would swapping out pigs at the track effect the corner balance?


One more question. Let's say I need to add weight to the right front. Do I raise the ride height of the right front of left rear?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks guys!
