Final assembly
1. Double check that all of the bolts are tight.
2. Mount your wheels and tires.
3. Lower the car off the jack stands.
4. Set the ride height in the car as specified in the manual
5. Once the ride height is set, tighten the small set screw in the spring seat just until you feel it contact.
The end of the set screw is plastic so that the threads are not destroyed. Not a lot of pressure is
needed to prevent the seat from turning.
6. Check to make sure that the spring is seated correctly on the shock
7. Align the car to the specifications at the front of these instructions. Do not change the ride height
after this is done as this will change the alignment and it will need to be done again.
8. Installing the IRS changes the roll centers of the car compared to the solid axle so the car will roll
slightly more than the solid axle car. If you are racing the car, call for alignment and spring
suggestions.
9. Check the rod end jam nuts to make sure they are tight on a regular basis.
