Default Roll centres etc

Dom,

Thanks for that, we are going through the proper process of altering the chassis to suit my requirements. I have just purchases some different uprights with 2" raised stub axle this will give a nice roll centre on the front, the back is to low, but thats easy to change the lower innner pickup points.

Then onto bump steer, anti-dive and the rest of it!
While I was on the job I thought get rid of the pathetic T/Bird rear brakes and fit some nice 11.75" circuit use rotors and four pot billet Dynalites to the rear.
Problem no handbrake, but we can get an authority card here and have a hydraulic system. I am using 12.19 rotors and billet Superlite on the front, which will be just adequate due to 15" Trigos!

The book "Advanced Race Car Dynamics" by the Milliken brothers, in my opinion it is just to heavy for the average guy, and there must be far better books that can be digested by more simple folk!
