rear end alignment Q:
asumeing everything is straight; will your rear end be aligned as long as both the LCA are the same length?
I'm asking because I shortened up my LCA before I put the bigger wheels on because the wheels were very close to the back of the wheel wells. I lowered the car and that's why it was like that.
the LCA are set to the same length on both sides so I just want to be sure I did it the right way

If you have adjustables your thrust angle could be off. I checked mine on an alignment rack just to be sure. If you want I could set that up for you. Don't think you will need it but-

I threw my LCAs on my camaro and they were the same length but the car drove like it wanted to go one way when i had the wheel straight and was on the highway. Believe it or not did the measuring thing and the car drove straight as an arrow after that. But if your rear is pushed further towards one side it will throw the measurement off like smittro said. I didnt have much room for panhard alignment because the tires would have rubbed

I suggest :
use PHB to set side to side,use LCA to adjust the wheels in center of wheel well,
complete alignment ( be sure it includes setting the rear thrust line)( I suggest some where close + 0.07( different car like different setting)after all above then set TA angle

Completly STOCK heads/bore/stroke/weight

I measured like tater said and it's almost perfect so I'm going to leave it alone. I got the car on wheel ramps to adjust the TA and I notice the TA is pointed down in the bushing on the tranny side, so it looks like I'm going to have to drop the tranny support to adjust the placement.
I never thought lowering your car was such a PITA

true...
Lowering your car changes the cars suspension geometry...therefore everything needs to be adjusted accordingly.
