I use the term "Pro Touring" very carefully. I don't think I could classify my build as pro touring but it definitely has been affected by the concepts of pro touring. I have got quite a few parts in so far and I'm still trying to keep everything super practical (going, stopping and turning), more info in my build thread if you guys wanna read all about that. I'm hoping you guys can help me determine my IC and where to set the watts link.
Setup is a parrallel 4 link, bars will be between 21-23" Center to Center
Coilovers are strange SA 11.25"-17.25" shocks - mounted 10*-15* inward at top
Watts link- Chassis mounted pivot, parts from Fays2, custom pivot mount bracket
Any help or info would be much appreciated.
They are parallel in top view. The side view is what I'm wondering about. Curious where to set my bars both top and bottom bars. I think I read for protouring setups the top bar should be level and bottom bar slightly uphill (back to front). Does this sound right?
the bottom bar should be horizontal, for limited roll steer and the uppe bars should angle down towards the chassis. I would aim for 50 to 70% antisquat with room for adjustments.
The watts link should also have adjustment. starting with the pivot at the axle centerline should be good.
So that would put the IC somewhere level with the bottom bar, but how far out? I would think around the front wheels or front bumper, but I'm just guessing really. I will definitely need help with the antisquat, I've heard the term alot and understand the concept (how hard it "hits" the tires) but do not know how to set it at all. The watts linkage will be setup at ride height to be...
Pivot centered on diff
Pivot perpendicular with ground
Bars parallel to ground
