Russell, I know you said you can't share the CAD drawings, but.... would it be possible to get the co-ordinates for the upper & lower arm mounting points ? or maybe just simplified ? c-c numbers for the mounting points for the upper & lower arms X,Y,Z ? I realize you've tweaked the measurements from factory- I'm not asking for your secret recipe, the OEM number would be just fine. I've been trying to find this info, with no luck. At some point in the future i'd like to build a C4 front end for my dakota and I am trying to collect data for that project. My last resort will be to jig from a clip cut from the junkyard if needed.
Warping is no problem with all the keys and slots. Just don't get torch happy and it's really very easy.

I don't have the C4 stuff in the computer. When I took over and started designing the frames I decided to go all C5/C6 because of the improved geometry and availability of parts. So I don't have the factory suspension for the C4 in the computer. I have the cradle references but not the knuckles and A frames.

I figure I got my 57 Sedan and HRJ C4 Chassis with only .75 degrees static negative camber pulling off 1.2G corner exits on street tires at the road course that the C4 configuration on that chassis was good enough for that one so I didn't bother reinventing that one for the sake of a few tenths. Everything else from here on out is another story.

Thanks
Russell
