27/32, or one tootsie roll.

Yes, but it saves me having to compare 7/8 to 13/16 and do a conversion in my head.

so 13 14/16 in(1 tr/(27/32 in) = 16 4/9 tootsie rolls.

Exactly.

I had RCE T2s on my STI for many years (actually, they're still sitting in a box in the garage 5 years after I traded in the car, I should find them a new home). I f'ing hate KW's spring perches. :mad0260: The set screws strip. The bumps the wrenches fit in strip. They get jammed up with dirt and debris.

If my car didn't come with MCS, I'd probably get Fortune Autos just for their spring perches. I ran Ground Control coil-over adapters on a couple cars many years ago, and their clamping perches never gave me an issue. Fortune's new clamping perches look quite similar.

Folks have you tried the metric system? It's pretty neat. :)

Never stripped a set screw but I have lost one. No other issues other than hitting myself in the face with the wrench. I actually like the perches because they're light and they don't rust or get frozen to anything. :iono:

I don't have a metric tape measure :(. Going to get one as soon as I remember when I'm shopping lol. But yes, mm all around would be nice.

I just want to say my front end would be perfectly aligned if I didn't adjust the left tie rod precisely the amount I needed to in the opposite direction. :bonk:

It's fine, the rear still needs work. Up we go again...

That's so yesterday. The Tootsie Roll system is much tastier.

Hey, that sounds like me! I learned precision errors from my dad.

Lol. I took a course in grad school taught by a famous statistician who swore he’d fail any student who included a regression coefficient taken to more than 1 digit to the right of the decimal in a paper. I can still hear him 40 years later.

“Why in hell would you publish a coefficient like 2.546, when you know damn well your measurement model is only good for +\- 4 percent. Even saying it’s 2.5 is false precision.”

Agreed! Similar situation for me and a physics professor for whom I eventually worked. "Two decimal places is more than enough for the real world."

People have forgotten about slide rules too.
