Default They're pretty close!

Hey Dom you crazy number cruncher. I like the look of your numbers except I believe you have the rear upright upside down from the axle CL. We are within a few thou of each other which is encouraging. That rear RC looks like a good height according to what I'm reading. The rear shock is a crazy angle, around 28 deg which explains the drag race and acceleration out of corners performance you mention. The front upright is a funky thing, you can scale drawings all day long and not know where that top ball joint finishes up. Your front upper arm length looks a little short but I'm avoiding the steering end till I've built my rear and my confidence to tackle the front. I would suggest lowering that front RC which is why I suggested the adjustable height balljoint so you can play with its position. I can smell the smoke coming out of your ears at the moment. Get back to it!

Cheers
