" The rear A-arms do not sit parallel to the ground on my current '74. They never did on my earlier Pre-L. If I lowered the car (I have) to where the arms are parallel, the rear negative camber would be ridiculous."
Will I agree ... if the rear a arms are parallel to the ground the shock mounts need to be raised otherwise they do not have the proper travel distance .. they would be close to compressed. Also the mounting point needs to be raised on the upper rear a arm because the result is any lateral movement has an extreme effect on the camber of the rear wheels. To slam the car down to the ground its going to take some work to make it also handle properly.
