It's an old school method from back in the day. A lot of folks with older cars with no aftermarket support did it

something is wrong, the wheels are not perpendicular to the road.
I can't believe I am the only one that noticed ....

negative camber, a function of lowering a car with unequal length control arms, which can only be partially compensated for with the factory adjustments.

u r not the only one...but i found its better to keep quiet, he has his car set up the way he likes it,not everyone is going to like other people's mods,its all about the persons taste who owns the car. personally heating up the springs on these cars is not the best way to drop it,it changes the spring rate and usually causes the car to not handle that good and will bounce too much

Good stuff, very true.

yeah, not a fan of ghetto-rigging the springs, even as a temporary solution. when heating you loose far too much control over the changes in spring rate, and will basically end up with 4 different spring rates when you heat them up when they're still on the car.
