i just installed BMR's K-member and a-arm package and it looks like the front end is sitting up alittle higher. is there any thing that can cause that. it has the factory shocks and springs. i dont know if it makes a difference but i have 1LE suspention. thanks for the help.

mine as well. also the springs feel stiffer. my thought is the angle of the shocks has changed. maybe the bottom of the shock mounting position on the lower a-arm was moved inward slightly. this would angle the a-arm downward more. thus pushing the car upward.

Maybe being lighter in the front would raise it up a bit too.

it can, yes. for me, i added a 408 motor with an iron block. so, weight gain/lost about the same.

I never of thought of that. I"ll have to do the K-member / A-arms when I do my motor. Another item on the mod list for the future!

I have the same set up but with Eibach sport springs and Koni adj shock. But car got lowers and wheels moved alittle bit forward.. Now getting the aligment straight it tought. I can get the wheels straight but the steering wheel is off by about 3 inchs.
