Hello Clois
Y are about to enter the deep dark entity of front end geomerty I would invest in a couple of books and find out what makes things work ( Steve Smith good source) Working with Shell Valley they base there front end on the Mustsng ll front end the bump steer is not to bad with a 4" ride, height they use the same spindles and have the same kingpin inclination. The books will hit on Scrub Radius (tire patch when you make a turn-- can't feel what the car is doing or moving around) this has a direct relation on the wheel off set ( nice shine ball joint). This is why they say 17" tires makes a new cobra with 17" vers 16".I am sure there is some a lot more versed on than I out there.but I belive a few $ on books is a good outlay.
Ken
