    after you install all your parts put the vehicle on the ground bounce car to settle suspension. tie weights to string and tape to each quarter in center of wheel house with low tac tape make sure paint is free of debri. the strings act as plum bobs to measure to from same point on both wheels to center rear wheels. car has to be on a level surface also. if you measure and find the wheels are half an inch to the passenger side shorten the bar about half of that distance then re measure after lowering and bouncing again. you cannot ajust if tires are on the ground. there are probly more scientific ways but i lowered my car 1.25 inches and this is how i re centered my tires.
    good luck with all your mods. i am thinking of trying steeda watts link on my car to keep rear tracking better keeps rear centered when it lifts on hard corners.
