Why not try and separate both types of suspension? Street and Race. I think this will help focus a lot of questions that everyone would like to hear the answers to within that specific genre. Maybe pick a model of car for street that is typical and run through the process of setting it up. A camaro maybe? Same for a race car although in that case you're not really limited by packaging constraints other than whatever the rulebooks limit you too.

Sweet! I'm game. John, that's why you get the big bucks. You're an idea man!

We don't even have to say "Camaro". We could just give a jump off point.

I'll throw this out to what you guys think.

Front Tire diameter: 25.5"
Rear Tire diameter: 26"

Front Track Width: 60"
Rear Track Width: 61"

Wheel Base: 108"


Start here and indicate whether you are setting up a street car or a race car. If this doesn't work, where should we start?
