Reply to "Question regarding setting ride height with adjustable shocks; AND regarding the Koni 30 series shock adjusters."

Ray did you want to set your Pantera in the European ride height, or the raised US ride height?

The chassis should be level. If the car is sitting on a level surface you can determine if the chassis is level with a 2 to 3 foot long bubble level laid across the door sills.  A bit more precise way is to measure from the chassis to the ground at the four corners of the frame rails that run along the side of the car. They should all be equal in height.

If the difference between front and rear tire diameters is about 2 inches you can also set the chassis so that all 4 tires look equally centered in the fender openings.

The attached picture shows the suspension at the European ride height, without the weight of the driver or a passenger. Notice the lower control arms. When the driver and passenger sit in the car the rear lower control arms will be level with the ground (horizontal), and the tie rods "should" also be level.
