Yeah thanks for the advice but I'm trying to stay away from paying money to get it re-jigged all the time. To make matters worse I spent all night last night dreaming about it, working out all the angles and bending the yolks half a degree here and there, when I woke up this morning I thought my head was going to explode : S

I'm thinking that if I buy a digital level then I can put a straight edge across the top of the rear to front tyres on each side. I don't know if the ride height is level to begin with on a new chassis but if I put both yolks at the same height on each side and then measure the angle of the rear to front then that can be my starting point and a reference point for future use for knowing what the starting height should be.

Chris.
