I don't have allot of progress to report. I have 6 different spindles in my garage and have finally found one that I think will work. After attending Ron Sutton's class and learning about roll centers and scrub radius and many other things i had never thought about. I realize how much more there is to suspension then I could have imagined. I'm a beginner.
I've decided I'm going for a best effort autocross car. I'm not ready to put a cage in it and as such road course duty is out of the question.

Here are my goals for the front suspension.
-Lower car 2 inches currently 6
-Move wheels out 2 inches on each side (current setup DEEP in the wheel well)
-18x11 inch wheels on front with 6.6 inches back spacing (common mustang rear wheels)
-Minimize body roll I don't know enough about this yet to have a specific goal.
- optimize caster, camber gain, ackerman, bump steer.
