How good is AAD customer support?

You got lucky with that shop. Have heard of certain ones charging an arm and a leg to swap the tabs out and align these

 

[Speedy!]

They must not know what they're doing. I wouldn't pay $500 for 20 mins or work.

@Finface wrote a thesis somewhere on how many degrees each tab changes it and anything else you may want to do. @Finface show them Sir you got the PhD in suspension settings.

I posted it. .24 So lets say you were at +.50 with a 2 tab and wanted 0, you would put in a 4 tab. The higher the rear height the less you need to move to get to 0 or -.25. The lower the rear is the more it will have to move. By putting in Demon springs the rear of my car sits higher so I had to change the tabs. There is a reason the Demon sits higher in the rear then a Hellcat

What’s the reason it sits higher?

Closer to zero camber and easier on the rear. When I talked to Gforce they were telling me the earlier cars (before 15) sat higher and had better geometry with the axles. You ever heard someone say don't put lowering springs in a Hellcat if you drag race? They creates bad angles with the axles and they can break

Gforce makes a rear 9" or something and he said they tried to move it up high as possible in the cradle

Love it, a Cliff’s Notes version.

I’ll add the front toe adjustment is very sensitive to moving those shafts (my notes say moving the nut/shaft “10 min” moves the toe 1/8), the rear toe using the AAD tabs is also a very tedious procedure checking and potentially changing the tabs and checking again. Be patient everyone if you screw with it, but it can be dialed in just where you want and with the AAD bushings etc. those settings won’t change.
