Use a 7 16 wrench on the end of the piston rod to keep it from spinning 17 A wheel alignment must then be performed to achieve the desired caster camber and toe in specifications Once complete ensure the final torque specification WHEEL ALIGNMENT NOTES A wheel alignment is required after the installation of these components Alignments are possible to perform at home with proper tools setup and careful measurements Generally the vehicle is set to stock alignment settings and adjustments are made accordingly to driver feedback If the alignment is performed at a professional shop and any future adjustments to either ride height camber caster or toe are made note that these adjustments will effect other alignment settings and therefore it is recommended to get the vehicle re aligned Inspect tire wear often to ensure proper alignment It is suggested to keep records of alignment settings for reference when making future adjustments The bottom of this page can be used to do so RIDE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT e Rotate the spring seat nut to the desired height e Lock the spring seat in position with the jam nut SPRING RATE amp SUSPENSION NOTES Spring rates depend drastically on the particular vehicle setup Below are some general guidelines to follow when choosing a spring rate Typically 14 long springs are used with Strange Engineering struts and caster camber kits For drag race applications with rear wheel drive soft spring rate

8. s are used in the front suspension to encourage weight transfer A softer spring rate can be compressed more by the constant weight of the vehicle than a stiff spring at identical length Therefore a soft spring will have more kinetic energy stored for weight transfer If the weight transfer is excessive the rear tire sidewall may suffer drastic deformation and unload abruptly to result in tire shake The front extension dampening adjustment can be increased to prevent this If there is no weight transfer occurring the front extension dampening adjustment can be decreased or a softer spring rate can be used For the vehicle to take full advantage of weight transfer a stiff rear spring will resist compression and maintain traction However a spring rate which is too stiff and does not compress will transfer the weight to the tire sidewall which will unload quickly and cause uncontrollable driving conditions The end goal with all combinations of front and rear shock settings along with spring rates is to be able to plant the tires for maximum grip by increasing the footprint However increasing the footprint decreases the total diameter of the tire therefore traveling a shorter distance in a single rotation Also note that a taller and longer tire foot print is preferable for forward traction compared to merely a wide foot print Track experience and careful documentation will result in the best combinations of strut and shock adjustment and springs
