A method for adjusting static attitude of a head suspension is provided that includes providing an adjustment pin and adjusting the static attitude of a supported head suspension by contacting the head suspension with the adjustment pin to cause a predetermined attitude change in the head suspension. Once adjusted, the head suspension is exposed to heat for a predetermined period of time. The adjustment pin is manipulated, such as by pivoting, translation or both, about the head slider mounting region to cause angular reorientation of the region prior to exposure to the heat. Measurement of the static attitude of the head suspension may be performed before adjusting, after adjusting or both. A static attitude adjustment system is also provided including a manipulatable adjustment pin to be placed in contact with the head suspension and a heat source configured to expose the suspension to heat.
