mickmate,
Yep thats helpful information, will check mine out and see what I come up with. The problem I have got is the car was built Body/chassis in the effort to make it easier to certify with the Land transport here in NZ, or as the manufacturer states a Sportsman chassis, which is okay and serves a purpose, but throw me into the mixing pot and its nowhere near advanced enough handling wise.
If there was a next time I would just get a body and make my own chassis, and start from the wheels first, but I am doing that now!!!!
We have the patience, so this baby is going to get a modified Cobra Coupe style or "much better in theory" race chassis, and good suspension geometry.
Another thing I am curious on and this is really what works in each individual situation depending on chassis width, Is the length of an original top and bottom front suspension arms
I could end up with a bottom arm measurement of 11.25" and top arm of 7" thats pivot point measurements, I dont really want to go any shorter, but will check out body roll and camber change and it still may be a good compromise.
I have looked at arms on Canam McLarens etc and some of those are really short, and I realize that they have very little suspension travel, and also some Tranam cars setup to run on radial slicks have shorter style arms to get this compromise.........I think I will shut up now in case I get my mouth gets me in the s**t
