Moving it back 3 inches to get the wheel base to 108, where it is supposed to be.

Moving the front clip up 2 inches so I can get my LCA's to a more level postion. I am wanting to travel my tire around 3 inches and Jake has it set up where I am already compressed 2 inches at ride height. If I try and travel it 3 inches where it sits now I have bump, camber issues, Etc. and it will be out of the designed range. He assumed that I was going to travel the front 1.25 inches. I told him before he started that I wanted the control arms level at my 4 inch ride height...

Ride height will still be 4 inches at the rockers, relocting the shocks with some trick adjusters from Ron Sutton.

Just scrap it and have Ron Sutton build you a real race car.

I should have gone with my original plan of getting a Howe TA2 car.

This will be way cooler when done!! Sorry to hear about all the issues you're having.

Hey Steve,

Figured you would be at Motor State. What is up with that?

Ok that did make me laugh out loud.

I like the way you are thinking! I too set my LCAs parallel to ground because of the added benefit of being so easy to verify suspension settings at the track after messing with cross weight even on uneven ground as you just quick verify you are 90 degrees to the frame. There are some that like them to angle "down" just a little bit from the inner point to the spindle point for camber gain but I have always found I can get a really good camber curve with level LCAs by just being careful about the UCA's inner mount points to get a correct length and pitch while making sure the static roll center stays in a range I desire. I am sure you will find a combo that does exactly what you want it to, just be prepared to reconsider the UCA mounting as well.

I don't always drink race gas, but when I do, it is dos equis.
