Thumbs down Re: Rear coilover shock set up

What I like to do as a starting point with ladders or fourlink cars is put a jack as close to the right rear tire as possible and Jack up the car until it starts taking weight off the left rear tire. This will simulate the deflection that takes place on launch. Find points to measure from each upper and lower shock mount, adjust suspension links until shock lengths are the same. The distance from the axle tube to frame rail should be the same on both sides now if everything was built square. After this it's to the track to get some videos . When the car goes straight, then weigh it and record the numbers for future reference if you want. Good luck and be careful.
