Looking at the summit and the Heidts kits they all say the coil spring is to be compressed to install shock.. Also are there shims under you pads in the lower a arms. Some have them.

Did you get an aligment card with these kits? Meaning what the new camber setting should be on the car. I know if you do an Shelby/Arning drop on a Cougar/Mustrang the template maker supplys a alignment card (new alignment measurement) to give the alignment tech. So hes not using the original alignment settings.

Found what I was looking for. Most had the same recommendations.

@armyadarkness So how much caster are you running? I do a rough alignment at home. There are small town places where you can go in and watch what is being done.
