Aligning the suspension. How accurate?

Generally speaking you do want a bit of a "rack", lower in the front, higher in the rear. BUT, the Butlers are not your typical replica so the basic rules may not apply to them.

Arthur,

My car is 1" lower...4.5 all around on level ground.

Russ I like 4.5" and I may end up there some day. Have you ever hit anything at that height. Sloping aprons to a driveway? Speed bumps, etc.

BTW how is the Fast Cars front suspension performing?

I think a rack gives it a good stance. My car may end up with one in time. But for now I'll test the 5 1/2" (4 1/2") at the bell housing & chassis skid plates. If I clear most road hazards I'll be free and clear to lower it.

Thanks for the comment.

Never measured mine in the diagonal,but did get alignment specs from a long time Cobra racer,and also had the car scaled.Very important thing to do.The car handles like it's on rails!!
