What is the factory height for the rear of a 1980 C3? I replaced the rear leaf spring and now the car seems lower in the rear by at least 2". Rear Wheels seem to tucked in at the top indicating a chamber adjustment. Will the height be restored after adjusting the chamber?

You change the height of the rear by tightning the long bolts that go through the end of the spring

:agree:
Set rear height to where the axles are level. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info. I was under the car today and found the camber setting way off. It helped some but it still sits low. I will look at the spring bolts now. artyon:

Can you post some pics of the new spring install? You didn't provide much information about what was changed, etc. It's important to get the suspension correct or you can find yourself in a coffin, and people making guesses on a forum is not the best way to sort out your suspension.

Not by much and, based on your post, not enough for what you want.

Set camber eye ball scale and drive no further than the alignment shop.

Your alignment needs to be set after your ride height is adjusted. If you set your camber and raise the car 2" you'll end up with positive camber.

LS1Vette makes a good point about making sure everything is correct. A few pics and more detail of which parts you used will help to determine if there is another issue.
