Hi,

This topic bounces around a bit, but I'll bite.

Your problem is that you have installed springs that:

1. have an uncompressed height that is probably about 11.5 inches.
2. you probably have "one notch" trailing arm brackets on the inner and 
outer positions.
3. your new springs are stiffer than stock.

Buy "three notch" brackets for the inner and "two notch" brackets for the 
outer and install them with the notches up. This will give you the 
"tallest" setting and the camber should be about zero to slightly negative.

There is also the possibility that you installed you brackets wrong... If 
you have "one notch" brackets, the notches should be up.

If you don't want to change the brackets, buy the Moss springs that are 
10.1875 inches free length, part number 670-148. These will give you 
slightly negative camber.

bye,
rml
