David, thanks for the information. I was low for both ends. I measured a shock angle of about 64 degrees but, as I said, my car rides a bit high.
I got the rear shocks gassed up, but in the process of doing so, saw that the driver's side rear wheel was rubbing the canister hose. Things get tight back there with the 3 link and the exhaust. Fortunately, I'd covered the hose with some plastic wire loom for just this reason, so the hose wasn't damaged. I'll jury rig a mount for the canister in a different location, and make fabbing something pretty a winter project. We definitely have a driving season up here in eastern Washington, and I don't want to miss seat time while I get the car sorted out.
