I'm close to o'hare, that could work, when do you come in? They've been all bagged up since last fall. Much appreaciate the loan and lets call it a "rental" and I'll make a finacial contributin to youre trans fund so you can hopefully use them again this year.
I converted to the 89 dual pivot k-member/LCA's when I put the coil overs on last August. I think the wheel center is close to where it was with the original 87 stub-strut setup. I thought the later (91+?) cast arms and spindles moved it further than a 1/4"?

The stamped arms work fine on 84-90 with no noticable wheel placement difference. The cast arms will move the wheels forward about 1/4" on those cars.
Gotcha.... they seemed to not have moved much

Comments...
Clutch felt good, seemed to hold well - thinking old shake in 3 & 4 was poss clutch slip like Pat guessed, thanks!
Nuts felt VERY comfortable - Thanks Reeves!
No tire shake out of hole or in 2 - different cuz of M&H's or wasn't as low in pressure as we were with Sebring LX's M/T's
Alignment was good, went very straight (Thanks Tuffys!) need to check tire wear and video/pics
I think the cut-out was better due to going back to 10w40 from 5w30 as the oil is not getting to the cam sensor as quick... need to try to seal that damn sensor from oil, might try a little RTV
Always a good night to drive it on the trailer, LOL! Always a good time at the track hanging out with friends Next track trip will be at SDAC-22

Jt are you going to try more heat and less pressure in the tires for more data ? I'm interested to see if the tires have more grip in them yet to come.
Thanks guys, still some bugs to work out!
Yeah, gotta play with pressure and temp... Gotta play with suspesnion still too... the stiff suspesnion does limit (almost eliminate) lift, but it also makes the slicks "bounce" on the run as most of the suspension is now sidewall flex
