Does anyone of an idea of how much 1 degree of adjustment will change the resulting ride height?
It seems like I saw this figure before, but I cant find the thread.
Thanks in advance

I assume the 1 degree you speak of is on the rear spring plate? The only mention of this springplate angle in relation to ride height that I remember is in BA's book, where he mentions that adjusting the older 44/40 tooth torsion bars by one inside tooth up and one swingplate tooth down produces a 50 minute change (close to 1 degree, but not quite) and a resulting ride height change of approx. 6.5 mm.Quote:

Dave, I asked the same question last month. Got a nice program link. Do a search and you will find a good link to some guys that did their homework.

There is a spring plate angle calculator there at http://www.rennlight.com/cgi-bin/spring.cgi. For that, you put in the weight of the car (and F/R distribution), the size of the rear bars, the desired ride height, and it will calculate the angle the plate should have at "full dangle" when you install it.
There is also a useful corner balance calculator on his site too, at http://www.rennlight.com/cgi-bin/balance.cgi as well as some good how-to articles and the weight database. Both the calculator tools are linked from the Registry's Tech Info page.
