Installation of Four-links, hints and tips please



I got that Competition engineering kit for basis, but should i go with link angles and dimensions that are in instructions. Does link angle (meaning front brackets height) and link lenght mean much, or is it just links mutual difference in angle what makes differences in car behaviour.

Instruction ->

After some thinking and reading i think that put mounts that way that bars are level when installed in middle holes, sound right...?

Some problems...

Bar lenght, those are 21", does 17" sound too short? My suspension travel wonīt be max, 4" travel maximun in and out. In 21" lenght front mount are directly in place of roll cage main bar.

Or then put links inner side of frame rails but that doesnīt sound good option.

Or lower bars outer side, normal leafspring line, and upper bars inner side of frame.

Or both in normal place, lower bars 21" and upper bars 17" lenght, just cut front mounts and mount in different line.

Few vids and pics from first race.

Rear-end didnīt work that good, i think that four link setup didnīt mess anything but springs were too soft and maybe rubbers on end of coil-overs too soft. It was very restless to drive and movements little shaky when transiting, need to try different springs and few other adjustments.

But i managed to run third on qualifications and 6th at final standings. F*cked up little bit at tandems top 8 and miss shifted, from third to sixth...

Few vids from last race, went pretty good, first podium place this season. First vid may be most interesting. Most of Camaro at the end.

That car looks bad ass and I love what you have done with it. Will have to check the videos when not at work.

Did I read earlier correctly? You added what looks to be huge gains in turning radius and are using a 2.5 turn rack and pinion? That looks straight nuts! Is that 2.5 turns lock to lock or from center lol?
