Sorry Larry, I've got to ask. I just purchased some of the CAT springs thought I was told that they were NOW made differently and some are complaining that they are too low!!! Tom

The continuing story of the CAT springs and car height. My son Jay went through at least 4 sets of actual Alpine springs (for an Alpine), and they were all different lengths, diameter, coil thickness

Tom, the CAT springs I purchased, were from 20 years ago, so you should have a newer set than mine. If yours are low, after installation, add a rubber insolator/spacer to the bottom to bring it up. A

Larry's wise comments are correct, but most of the people I see are riding too high, when you can put a large fist between the tire and the fender lip and move it up and down. It's too high. Some, ac

Thanks Larry and Steve, I did buy the rubber spacers/insolators ( plural, as in I bought two) when I got the springs. The reason for the future replacement is that the PO had one of those twist-o/fix

Hi Group. I am starting to look down the road to when I will be aligning my Tiger for caster, camber, toe-in, and looking at the ackerman angle. The old HP books I have did not do a very good job on

As long as the shop is willing to mess with upper A-arm shims, crossmember shims and coarse thread tie rod ends in adjusting toe, you'll be in business. I've found a good compromise between street/tr

Mike, what size steering wheel, tire size, and wheel diameter do you have? If I remember, you are using 195-50/15 on Panasports in the front. As I understand, you use shims under the rear portion of

Bob, great reply on the wheel alignment. I think I will do the alignment myself from your notes. I have a trammel rod, and a accurate level gauge that measures angles in 1/2 degree. I think I saved a

A few general comments on alignment. Camber, within about 1 1/2 degrees has litle effect on tire wear, at least a lot les that those wheel spinning starts & tire squealling corners do, but in general

This question was discussed recently on the list. My suggestion is to set the maximum castor you can obtain (+4-5 degrees) with about minus 1/2 degree of camber for everyday street driving. More neg
