|
|
Decided to raise the rear of the 57 a little as it looked to low in all the pics that we see of it.
Got it raised up and when measured across the roof at the B pillars it stands at 59.1" or 1500mm
Also when I set a level on the top of the heater channel its dead level. (This is on level ground)
Only thing now is its gone from a saggy rear to lots of positive camber. We have rolled the car back and forth and I have sat in the back and bounced a bit which did improve it.
Take a look at the pic and see what you think. To much? or about right? car is unladen.

Yes, looks too much from that angle, have you driven it yet?
It will drive much better with out the positive camber. _________________ FAHRVERGNUGEN;
