Default C5 vette suspension measurement and geometry

I have a probject 69 vw with a Subaru EJ25 engine and trans. With my engineering background I decided to go with a tube chassis with C5 suspension I am drawing some cad drawings for the design and would like any measurements, and geometry I do not plan on using the C5 subframe

Any particular reason you're wanting to use the C5 geometry? If you're spending the time to build your own frame you would be much better off doing a little research and insuring your suspension geometry will fit your project requirements.

Just because you're using C5 parts doesn't necessitate the use of it's geometry.
