Roll center, upper control arm to lower control arm ratio, instant center, anti-dive, scrub radius, and an million other things that all affect each other. If your using alot of stock parts things like ackerman and King pin inclination and overall spindle height are already determined.
Interesting thread but my head hurts.

The initial base for this thread was to try and answer some of these questions or at least give folks some legitimate targets. Alot of guys can choose alot of parts and put them together, but have no idea what the end target should look like. I think we are turning on some light bulbs with regard to this stuff.
Your complete post just gave alot of information that I guarantee guys that spent thousands of dollars on parts never even considered.
My head hurts too, literally I'm still sick! Crap.
Thanks for jumping in Roger, your thoughts are well respected around here.
