      looking for guidance.

      I have been playin' with Performance Trends for a couple weeks and looking for some direction on how to improve what I have so far.
      At the moment this is what it looks like.
      Using 1" dive and 2* roll, I have a FVSA lenth of 109" at static.(shorter than I would like)
      Actual camber is running;.304*,-.119*,-.547* at 2* roll/0-1" dive in 1/2 increments.
      RC migration is at 6.225 from center, max.
      I have been able to come up with a FVSA length of around
      125-130,and RC migration in the 3-5" range.
      The problem with that is that I loose my camber gain.
      Something like 1+* to -.2* at the 1"dive/2*roll.
      I read somewhere here that there is another way to get a better curve other that shoertening the FVSA length, Is there such a solution?
      I really am only able to move my upper arm mounts and ride height via dropped spindles or moving my upper coil over mount.
      Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks, Doug

      Please disregard earlier specs.

      OK, I've been playin with this all day and have come up with the best so far.
      FVSA length of 115+ at static.
      Camber is at -.44* at 1"/2*
      RCH ranges from 2.72" at static to 1.83" at 1"/2*
      RC migration at 2.64"
      I have to play w/steering yet , but how does this look?
      I will post attatchments of the specs. when I figure out how to.
      Any hints?

      Thanks, Doug

      Doug,
      FVSA should be between 100" and 150" according to Herb Adams book.
      On the camber gain, I'd have to look at some other data to be sure but it looks pretty good.
      Your RC movement isn't bad.
