Thank you for sharing all of this, it’s not everyday I get to see what goes into building a car at this level.

Too funny.

Frankly, in the lower links, we usually just level them & forget them. We only adjust the fronts to change rear steer when needed. See my answer above to Ahmad's question.

On the Decoupled 3-link, I've found we like the Decel link (the top one that is a double adjustable gas shock) around 15°. I hate to say this, but it IS a RONCO oven. Set it ... and forget it. The angle anyway. We do fine tune the shock valving with knobs on the console. When the driver is on the straights, they can reach down & grab a handful of rear grip (or less grip). One knob fine tunes rear grip on corner entry. The other knob fine tunes rear grip on corner exit.

Now the Accel link ... the lower of the V-link assembly ... gets fine tuned often. That's why we don't use HOLES in brackets. Too coarse of a change. That steel jack screw assembly the Accel link is bolted to on the chassis goes up or down 4" ... with the turn of a knob. It's just behind the main hoop, in the cockpit, so it's NOT adjusted on track. We call this our "Quik-Tune" assembly because it takes seconds to adjust it. We simply adjust it down (clockwise) for more rear corner exit grip ... and up (counter clockwise)for less.

Other than the setup we put on the car in the shop ... without changing any parts on the car ... we have a total of 20 areas of quick, easy, track tuning ... 14 in the rear & 6 in the front. So your world is safe big guy !!!
