So, last weekend a friend of mine came over and we pulled the rear end and springs out of the car. I double checked the spring part# and they are the #14 springs. The front spring eye was moved to the upper hole in the front mount and the offset shackles were reoriented correctly. Then we assembled the front brakes and blead the system. This week my wheels came in and I had tires mounted up yesterday. Here's how the car sits right now with the 0 arch springs mounted in the upper front mount hole. From the center of the axle to the wheel lip measure 9-1/2" now.......a 1" change. The back end is still a couple inches too high. I measured the front of the rocker to the ground and the back of the rocker to the ground. The front end is 2" lower than the rear. I'm OK with a little bit of rake but 2" is too much. I'll probably put some weight in the trunk and see what the stance looks like at 1" and 2" lower, then figure out a plan to get it there permanently.
