I have a front end that bottoms out and about to install Bilstein Touring struts,
and shocks,IPD sway bars, HD spring seats, HD sway bar end links, and a strut brace.

*I'm wondering if the strut springs go west? My car bottoms out especially
in slow speed turns. Is there something else to check?

* What's the procedure to keep the alignment close with installing
the new struts? I've seen that people mark the mount mount of the strut bracket
and the steering knuckle. There's also some measurement that helps maybe with
vernier calipers but I didn't understand that writeup.
(I know I'll need alignment afterwards)

Thanks, Bill
