Reply to "Ride hight"

You need to drive it around the block a few times to make the shocks take a set.

IF your toe is way off at this ride height (toed out) then you need some bump steer help.

Check to see if you have the 10mm shims under the steering rack. That was the factory "fix" for the toe out at full upper travel.

I don't think that you can entirely eliminate toe change but the new spings and shocks most likely will not permit full up and down travel so that will reduce toe out changes.

3/16 to 1/4" TOTAL toe in at normal ride height is a good number.

The top of your fender openings should be even with the top of your tires. Keep driving around the block until the suspension settles there.

Wilkinson should have given you a good starting height for the shocks. He should know better if he didn't. The problem with him is he isn't a mechanic at all. You'd be better off with Chris at SAC Restorations. They actually can pre-set this stuff from their own car and experience.
