Front suspension design input needed

[Mike Maier]

Ok' I'm gonna through my two cents in. Long as you can on the lower arms. This is dictated by the width of the steering / center link you are using. upper arms will be as long as possible while still achieving the camber gain you are striving for. Roughly .7 pr. inch will be pretty good. Roll center should be lower than 2", no lower than groundish. Yes I said groundish. Your front springs combo's look good but the rear is too low. Do not confuse spring with bar, two different tools.

Just saying

So the rack I am using, the tie rod mount points are 18" center to center, so I would want my lowers to mount close to or on the same horizontal spacing as that to minimize bump steer, right?

When I was talking about bar, I was thinking about adding a rear sway bar.. I got to the point where I was un sure if I should keep adding spring (coil spring) rate, or add a sway bar to help control roll.

Thanks for the input Mike.
