Jay, what is the drop in inches?

Here is a rough idea to expect:

1-inch drop = .84 negative degree
2-inches drop = 2.12 negative degree
3-inch drop = 3.86 negative degree

Thanks to Ron Wong for getting me the FSM page on suspension alignment,
Ekstrand is using it too.

Anyways. Does anyone have a torque spec on the Camber and/or Caster bolts.

All I know is it's damn tight. I pushed as hard as I dared on my ratchet
wrench and it wouldn't budge. I'll buy a breaker bar today. Right now I'm
set at about .5deg positive, I'll be trying to get about 2 deg negative.
I'll let everyone know what kind of camber I can get out of it with the
Hotchkis drop on it.
