Default Re: Photos of DIY Rear Spring R&R?

I dropped a post in the "Thank You" thread in the General Forum. Everything went great and it looks like it should.

I'll post some photos when it settles and I get a chance to drive it in the dry. (it started raining right when I was finishing.

Thanks, everyone! Here's the Thanks post:

"...Two down and two to go...thanks to all who led me by the hand in installing my rear Eibachs and adjustable camber arms.
Steve
Brian
MikeR
George (Offered to come down or let me use HIS garage!)
DownwardSpiral
Howard

And everyone else for their time and thoughts.

I pre-loaded the camber arms to 3/16" extension to offset the excessive camber I started with. I haven't driven it yet-I cleaned all of the rear chassis components and it started raining when I was letting the the jack down after taking the stands out. Go figure.
Started with ~3-31/2 fingers of rear gap. Now it's ~ 2 fingers and looks great. Even Tina can notice it! Top of the tires are now closer to the top of the fender (tipped out more) due to reduced negative camber. Went great. First side ~ 3 hours. Second side 1 hour. I could now install rear springs in my friggin' sleep.
I guess it's because I have to figure out everything before I tear into it. A-R is me.

I now have ~ 3 fingers of Highland Park single malt by my side.
And after a shower, I do believe I'll have another..."
