How low to go?
The Eibachs have been on about a week now - they did settle a bit, maybe 3/4" or so from when I brought it home that day.
Overall it's a major plus I'm thinking..

Watch out for those concrete wheel stops in parking lots, my RT is stock height and I already "RUB" on the tops of those nasty stops. I hate to hear that scratching sound.
My RT sits low enough as it is, no need to go lower.

ailignment seems to be a pain for the rear. well, not so much alignment i guess but the camber. It is still a little on the neg. side and there is no adjustment to get it back, so untill a new trailing arm comes out it is something to just deal with, rotate them tires baby.
rotate them tires baby.
Which way does Dodge recommend rotating? i don't remember seeing that in the book, but then I wasn't looking for that part..
Side to side, front-to-back? Kitty-Korner?
Hard to do the traditional 5-tire deal nowadays - how many folks have checked to see if there is any air in the spare?
My beautiful brand new 1981 Plymouth Reliant Wagon came with an empty... (my RT's had 56 if I remember correctly)

" just want to fill in the wheel-wells a little bit more. "
Larger wheels will give the illusion of fuller wheel wheels while maintaining full suspension travel and ground clearance, and the wider tires will improve handling!!
Which of these wheel wells looks fuller?? 18" or 22"??

Just to make sure but is there two pro-kit's, one for the RT and one for the others? I know the sportlines are only for the RT. The reason I ask is that I installed the prokit into the front last night and drove it around the block to turn the car into the drive backwards and I heard some spring rattling, the sound of as if the spring were too short and it were bouncing around in the carriage. I have done this many times with no issues on other cars. Just wondering if there is something I am missing before I strip off everything again. Thanks in advance.
