Have you thought about the possibility of the car weighing differently at each corner, requiring a different adjustment.

I would actually be surprised if each corner weighed the exact amount. And yes, that is the cool thing about being able to adjust each spring. What "bugs" me is probably really a spring issue with the springs being the real issue in differences. I just probably want something that is not a reality. LOL.. I expect each spring to carry it's load with a reasonable amount of difference. Say an 1/8" or less difference between any random sample(s).. Not a reality?? We'll see.

Thanks for the heads-up Dave. I'll look them over carefully. I still haven't opened all the boxes! Spent the day with the wife and work e-mails.. She has only given me one real job for tomorrow and I'll need to go to the shop for some tools so we'll see what I can get done!
