settle properly to do that we're using bg racing's laser leveling system pretty simple you can see we've got a laser in the middle here on a level surface it's got bubble levels on it so i can make sure this is level and then i shine the light at each of these stands onto their targets which are also leveled using a little NUMBER_TOKENd bubble level on the top there you can see i'm on mark number two on this corner and if we swing it over here we can see i'm also on mark number two on here and the same on the rear so that's how i got it all level and wow what a difference that made because there is a big slope here i was not aware just how big the slope was until i spent the time to set this up and this does take some time i spent at least an hour setting this up properly as you can see the car is now down on the stands and you'll also notice that it is sitting quite a bit higher i've raised the ride height both front and rear basically i wanted to raise it an inch front and rear and i estimated how much i needed to raise the spring mount collar on this based on the car's motion ratio which i did a really quick rough uh calculation on based on a lesson i just watched the other night with these guys hp academy they offer really high quality educational content about how to do anything really automotive related whether it's like making wire harnesses or building engines like we did with the evo NUMBER_TOKEN engine and they have a bunch of chassis setup and motorsports type of content now as well including what they call their motorsports alignment course which is a bit deceiving actually because yes it does teach you how to do a motor sports alignment with a string setup which we'll show you later in this episode but it also has a ton of great information in that course about how to set ride height how to adjust ride height and how to set the shock length correctly so that you have the correct amount of compression and droop travel so if you want to learn more about that how to set your ride height properly and really how to dial in your alignment correctly in a diy way where you don't need a huge amount of fancy tools go check that course out it's i think NUMBER_TOKEN u.s for that course and we have a discount code for NUMBER_TOKEN so check the link below for that discount code and that'll get you under that magical NUMBER_TOKEN mark for that course which i think is money really well spent so you'll learn so much about how your chassis works how does how to line your car properly and you won't necessarily have to go get like expensive motorsports great alignments at a shop you'll be able to do it yourself if you make a small investment in the equipment you need and it's really satisfying i think to learn how to set up your car and really understand how the suspension works because it's going to make you better at the racetrack or just make the car better on the street if that's what you want to what what you're using it for all right here we've got our bg racing string alignment set up you can see it's got this frame that hangs off the trunk on this side and off the rad support in the front and it lets you put this post across the back front
