I'm sorry but we can't find a chassis number or manufacture of this chassis and we understand it will be a fighting game not knowing what ride heights should be exactly but any starting point help on Springs, Sliders or coilovers on rear and ride heights and also bar angles would be appreciated.... Here is some of what is there now.

RF 650 spring

LF 700 spring

RR 175 spring on coil over in front of rear end

LR 200 spring on slider behind rear end

J bar at 18° and 3 stage pull bar at 18°

But ride heights seem to be off can't get any rake in car really while keeping front a arms at 8°

Any help would be appreciated Thanks

You bought a car without not knowing what it is???

Long story short yes and no to be honest

Confused?

Why are you locking yourself in at 8 degrees for the uppers? I would start with the lowers being level as a base ride height. I measure my car at the bolts for lowers.

Make your lowers level. Measure the pivot point on the ball joint and the bolt thru the crossmember and set those points at equal heights from the floor. Forget the 8* thing. Set the right side frame rail so it has 1" of rake (back being higher). I would also put the left side tires in line with each other. That is how I would start with an unknown car.
