I have the steeda 4 bolt cc kit on (it was there when I bought the car). How do I adjust the height of the car with these. With the flat head screw that sits in the nut?
The left side sits a little lower. I think they did a crappy job when they put these in. I need to get an alignment, my tires look like thier toed out also. I autocross every month, do I mark where they are at now, then just yank the things back as far back and in as they will go for race days?

 

If your wheels aren't adjusted right and you need an alignment I wouldn't be racing it, especially not autocross. Call steeda or check out their website, I'm sure they'll know how to adjust them, I'm not familiar with that setup though.

 

if you look at your plates, there are 4 bolts going left to right and 2 smaller things going up and down, those are for caster and camber adjustments. as for your toe, you adjust that from under the car, it has nothing to do with the caster camber plates. i dont know exactly what your talking about height wise, you car is going to be the same height regardless, i dont understand what the caster/camber plates would have to do with height. if your saying that one side of the car is lower than the other side, i belive that fine. i think thats just how it works out, usually the driver sid eis a little lower than the passenger side. but caster, camber and toe have nothing to do with the height of your car

 

forgot to say , just take it for an alignment and theyll fix it for you because you don't just align tires your self, thats not how things work, unless you have an alignment machine ofcourse. and again, u cant do anything about the height, the driver side is going to be a little lower than the passanger side, its like that on my stang, its like that on my friends lexus IS, and thats just how things go

 

People didn't have alignment machines back in the day My dad did an alignment in the driveway on his old triumph a while back and when he took it to be inspected they checked it and said it was perfect. But you're still better off taking it in for that, everyone doesn't have an eye for that sorta thing.

 

Not sure on the Stang's but I know on my 3/4ton Suburban which is lifted, etc yada yada, what I used to do was grab some plexiglass, grease it up, drive the front end onto the plexi, and just slowly and not too painfully adjust start adjusting while mesuring criss cross and side to side in the rear and front with a tape measure till you have it pretty damned near close, just make sure your tires are evenly worn or your measurements might be off slightly.

Anyway's just thought id add some useless info.
