Hi Dom, thanks for the e-mail. I'm posting my reply on here until someone can tell me why I shouldn't, or better yet explain this cloak and dagger stuff about dimensions of an original. The owners handbook says the track on racing versions is 55 1/8". Every single other piece of literature I've seen on these says track is 56" my conclusion, one is the track and the other is flange to flange. My rear upper arms are 11.5" long and my rear lowers are 12.5" long. The uprights (that are partially done) are 12.4375" height with 5.5625" above CL. My rear shocks (Probably QA1 DR5855B) will travel from 12 to 16'' in length. You can play with simple CAD stuff to try your geometry changes on paper first figuring stuff like camber changes and RC's. I have it layed out on a bench top full size with wire arms to length and can see it work without getting into any high tech CAD stuff for modelling it. It sounds like your front RC is still too low but what the heck do I know! If a car with foot wide tires can't get around a corner real well there's definetely something wrong. From what I've heard from guys that toss them around it's all about the nose heavy front end geometry with minimal adjustments. You got me inspired so I'm going to do some figuring on it right now. We'll cipher more.......
Cheers
