Thanks in advance.

Hi Ted,

I just got done changing my front suspension. Lengthened the upper and lower control arms about 3 inches. I also changed to heim joints in place of the cam adjusters. The lower control arm now uses a mono-ball in place of the standard ball joint and I was able to upsize it to a K727 size stud. Changed to the Wilwood 2" drop spindles, and added a Wilwood big brake kit. I auto-cross and this really helped the suspension geometry. I also run 3-piece wheels (5-lug, 18 x 10.5) and was able to change from a 5" back spacing to a 8.25" back spacing to help with the scrub. I also had to lengthen the shocks due to the changes. It was a lot of work, but it made a big improvement. Some of this also depends on what size diameter tires you are running. My front race tires are about 1.5" smaller than the stock tires so this has a large affect on the suspension geometry.

Hi Ken,

You've definitely made some pretty extensive suspension changes to your car. I notice that we live in the same area. Going to send you a PM.

Thanks
