[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 10514995, member: 9628"] Doc - Thank you for the compliment. This car has the optional Eibach adjustable coil overs, I guess the bushing are what ever comes with them? or are the OEM bushings re-used? My only thought when installing these tie rod ends was to adjust the ends so that they are straight instead of angled as it relates to the rack vs. the spindle. I have not even looked at the car when it is sitting on level ground, maybe the angle is fine. Originally this car had 255/35's on the front as part of the conversion. I have upgraded the tire size to 275/35, but still have the same 9" Alcoa rim on the front. The reason I was going to lower it just a little more was to close up the gap (slightly) between the top of the tire and the fender lip and make it more closely match the rear. I do have Shelby CC plates that are new in the box. The guy at the dealership said to bring them along with me and leave then with him while he aligns the car. The main reason for the alignment is to pull the passenger side tire in at the top. Instead of leaning in slightly as the drivers side does, the right side stands straight up. The tire sticks out a little bit because of this, it has since the conversion. I don't know if the Eibach coil overs are slotted for adjustment, but the Ford shop manual instructs the lower two holds in the strut to be slotted to achieve the proper alignment. I am hoping this same process can be preformed on the Eibachs as it would be on the OEM struts and not use the CC plates? One other question.................my Shelby tubed lower control arms have poly bushings, am I making a mistake by installing these? The reason why I ask is that I know the poly bushing are harder than the OEM rubber bushings on the OEM lower control arms, are these poly bushings going to beat me to death? Here is a rear view of my car now with the 335/30 Viper size tires (except in 20"). This car still over powers these tires without much effort!?!?
