Any balast in the driver's seat to simulate your weight or was the cabin empty?
Empty.
Just getting started.
First time on scales.
No adjustments have been made since I guessed at ride height correction from what is was before I tore into the front suspension.
But I will certainly have a seat at the wheel with the scale readout in my lap before I'm done.

Well it looks like you're off to a great start.
This was my 86 5 with 160# in the driver's seat, but before i installed the supercharger. Guess I need to get it back on the scales and see where it is now.
Not sure how accurate this is, but it looks like only one might be out of spec.
Haven't adjusted anything yet, going to drive it and recheck before adjusting
Oops! How'd that happen? This darn car just keeps taking itself apart.
Found more crusty rubber bits on the floor while checking ride height and alignment so decided to pull these out.
Had I known they were that easy I would have just done them along with the fronts.
At least now I'll know what's in there.
They were about 31 and I set them at 35. That should get it pretty close to spec.
Damper adjustment range was about two and a half full turns and I set them 3/4 turn from full stiff.
