Hey Guys,
I'm just playing around with Susp Analyzer and Im working on putting a C4 setup in my '54 chevy car with a 3 link/PHB in the back.
I was just going to put the C4 in as the factory sent it, but did some reading and decided to enter it in the suspension calc for fun.
From what I've read and looking at the clip I have, the UCA angles were upward towards the engine and it had a Positive Camber gain until they flattened out and went over center. My rough measurement was +.32. I thought maybe I could improve that since I dont really have any limitations of where I can put things, Im using a turbo'd inline 6 and the car is fairly wide so I have lots of room. Front wheels are 17x9.5 with 7" BS with 275/40 tires.
Im no engineer, but Im trying to learn, and maybe im completely wrong here...:1st:
Anyhow heres the screen shots of my modified setup:
