Help me understand...

[wellis77]

If you haven't seen my build thread to know what I need help understanding, you can check it out HERE. To save you the trouble of going through, I'll paraphrase:



I'm building a '69 Dart using 2003 Viper suspension. Problem is, the UCA's are too wide to fit my 5.7 Hemi between them. The only option was to shorten the UCA's. I picked up some from AFCO that are about 1.5" shorter than the stock Viper. That however, changes my geometry and I need to figure out where to locate things and determine if I can use the stock Viper LCA's (preferred option) or if I need to build some shorter ones to optimize the geometry.

I downloaded a trial version of Suspension Analyzer from Performance Trends, plugged in my data as it sits now with the UCA's in almost the same Y & Z locations as stock Viper, but larger X. Attached are some images I pulled of the input data and output. The only input data I did NOT change was rollbar, spring rate, camber and toe. Now I need help understanding whether this data is any good or not and what I can do to optimize it. I don't have my chassis engineering book with me to help me understand the info but I'm hoping some of the suspension guys here can help.

Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
