Re: Greg's 50 Build

Root, I think you are fine. The main goal is the angles between the trans ujoint and the diff ujoint. For leaf spring setups vs coil overs seems to have their differences, so there are guidlines to follow there. 1deg would matter if the angles are off and you get vibration, so yeah 1 deg would matter. but 1deg I don't think will matter as long as the angles are offset properly, so if you have proper angles at 3,4,5* I think you will be fine. Back to your kit however, the springs settling seems like a can of worms for the future. I believe things should be set up at ride height and accounted for then. not changing this or that down the road cause springs settled. Regardless of that, 4* seems fine, but maybe they'd have a more educated reason on why the rec more and actually 2* more than the norm.
