Mea culpa.

You're precisely correct. When you said the magic words "quick adjustment mod" that's where I went.

No sir. The one thing we don't have is a quick rear height adjustment option. Wheel and spring both must come off if memory serves.

Yep that's how it works. Really the only problem my shop said he found was the rear height adjust was poorly designed.
Thats ok i got use to the rake with the Eibachs is's kind of retro.

KW has to work with what they're given in terms of spring and shock layout. If your shop thought that to be KW's fault they simply weren't thinking.

Rake = cool looks and great high speed stability.

I left a little rake in to the car. The front is pretty low i might have to rise it up a little.

Mine are still in the box along with my Hotchkiss sways. Still can't find a good shop with experience in installing them. I thought I had one before purchasing them, but now I'm having second thoughts.

I will get them done before summer is out though.

IT's not that hard I would have done it my self but i don't have a lift and a couple of tools needed. So the shop i worked at did it for me. They owed me some so i got it for free.

Jim Yea they were just saying that it sucks that you can't adjust them with out doing a lot of work.

I had to raise my right rear about 3/16", so I bought these tools.
Took about 1.5 hours of beating on the adjuster ring. I was tired of spending time at the alignment shop, and figured I would save a few bucks.
I wouldn't recommend this method for much more than 3/16". It worked great and the rears are perfect. But pissed off the neighbors and my wife in the process, cause it was real loud.

Joey I had her on jack stands today to paint the calibers i got to looking reall close. I think your idea is good but you would have to take the weight off the rear end. Heck even there tool should work if the weight is off the ground.

Umm thanks.

You guys can't tell in the pic's but last week i painted the front side marker lights. I tinted them body color. It looks sweet. The one shot looks like it's on just must be the refection.
