I am installing the hotckis lowering leaf springs on my car (69 camaro 10 bolt) and cannot seem to get the shock mount to line up correctly. The poly pads line up perfectly but it looks like the actual shock mount angle is way too high. It looks like it needs pulled down a bit... I can get pictures if there needed but I'll have to figure out how to do it... Please help I'm on a TIGHT schedule!
Thanks,
David

i dont quite understand your problem.
are you talking about the lower shock mount, the same plate that holds the leaf spring to the axle? if the angle of the shock is to high, did you mount the plate in the right direction? with the shock mount on the outside of the leaf spring?
i use photobucket to host pictures online, its really easy, free, and they have html that you copy and paste to get the pictures to show up here in the forum

Yep thats what i needed to know. It seemed to me like it would make the shock bind. But after talking to some people they said this was normal. I drove it today and it handles great :thumbsup: .
Thanks folks,
