Hi Glenn,
First the silly question: Have you driven the
car since you did the work ? After your raise swing axles
off the ground, I've found that you pretty much have to drive
it to get them to spread back out. The only time my car has
positive camber is when you let it down from the jack. Just
bouncing the suspension doesn't get it to normal ride height.
Another thing you probably know, you are supposed to
tighten the suspension parts down with the suspension under
normal load, so the bushings aren't clamped down in the wrong
positions.
You could try swaping the stock shocks back in to
see if the KYBs are raising the back too much.
If none of the above are your problem, I suppose you
could put a spacer between the spring and the diff, or get
your spring re-arched. I also have a special 5 degree negative
camber spring I'd let go real cheap ;-)
PS: Were the KYBs you got listed for a spitfire, or
somethinge else ? What do you think of the ride ?
I'd like to upgrade my shocks one of these days.
Good luck.
