Hey Pappy,

I see that from the photo. I don't think the car is high enough. Could we raise it 12"-16".

JK. That puppy has a HIGH CG. Any chance the rules will let you get it lower?


Would stiffening the springs proportionally - front and rear- and keeping the same roll percentages reduce LCA angle changes (dynamic) and help prevent some of the roll center migration?
Yes. It would reduce the roll angle & the migration. Can you do this with a bigger sway bar in the front & stiffer springs in the rear?


I could turn it into a Go-cart if necessary. LOL. But the transition from on-the-wheels to on-the-lid might be a little more abrupt.
If you get it to run significantly flatter, I think your "tippy" problem will go away.


Pappy
