What did you have for an angle measurment when you were done for the rear tires? What are your rim to fender lip measurment distances now, front and rear. Mine are now 3.5 all round in front and in the rear.
The original Eibach springs have 9 turns and the factory have 8.5 in the front. I did not shorten them, the rears were cut, only. See the front stock and Eibach photo attached.
A hot lick that I found is to spray the rubber spring cups with white grease to allow them to shift and seat. The cups should be placed on the new springs with wire ties so that they will be aligned when you place them in the car. This saves you one more thing to fiddle with while trying to get everything put back correctly, hope it save yall time.
I like the idea of a rubber donut in the front however; the factory spring pads are graded in thickness, does anyone know what the thicknesses are or the height differences between them. Where is a good place to buy the in any case?? Dont wannna go the the dealership for that if I can find a better source of supply.
Waldig ps the car photo is Eibach set-up without correction of rear springs.
I looked to see if you could tell anything about how the KMAC bushings were made while on the car and you really can't tell. I went upstairs in my garage last night to find the track bar bushings that came with them, but I couldn't find them. Most everything I have upstairs is in boxes and are labled with a sharpie as to what's in the box, but I must have missed that one. The hole in the center of the bushing is off to one side and is "D" shaped along with the bolt that goes through it. The metal part of the bushing has teeth that bites into the metal where the control arm mounts and so do the washers on the outside after you stick the bolt through. Since the bushing hole is offset to one side it allows the bushing to move in or out as you turn the bolt. Hope this made since, I'll try again to find the track bar bushings and take a pic when I get a chance or maybe find a pic for you on the net.
Here you go I found a good pic on the net for you :
