Lower Control Arm Re-engineer

[AintQik]

Updates, lol I continue to baffle the experts. So, here is what I'm going to do.
I'm truly hoping I screwed something up and I can get this geometry correct with no additional parts, but I doubt it. Instead of throwing money at it, I'm going to enlist the help of an expert.

Before that, I need to install the 4 link, or torque arm or whatever I'm going to do in the back. Right now I like Speedtech, BMR or Chris Alston's G-link, in no particular order. One of those is going in the car in the next few weeks. As some information to others considering a swap like this, my particular deciding factor is going to be how low I can get the car and have it still function like it needs to. That being said Speedtech is pulling a slight lead. CA's advertises 2" from factory +/- 1" and BMR has gobs of stuff on top the pumpkin that may get in the way. We'll see, but I gotta pull the trigger real soon.

As for the front, I've talked to everybody and their brother in this business and I'm stumped. Blake at Speedtech suggested Mark at SC&C look at it because he is close by. I called and talked to him and he spent a great deal of time asking questions and finally deciding that yeah he wanted to see it and we'll go from there. Much like all the companies I've dealt with, Prodigy, Speedtech, BMR, Mark was a wealth of knowledge and genuinely interested in the car. He spoke for over an hour of his precious time about cars and philosophy and he closed with no matter what, we'll fix it. I was very surprised that he wanted to do that with the absolute minimal amount of money thrown at it. He did not try to sell me anything.



Throughout our chat, it was suggested that the parts I bought, while good, quality parts, did not really and truly fix the geometry issue with these cars. They made it better, but did not fix it. Mark has a metric **** ton of suspension knowledge and I went from having my own plan to fix it, to just giving it to him to take some measurements and come up with a plan. Course, I like to do all my own stuff, but there comes a time when we all need a lil help. Without anybody looking at it, I'd do the Chicane upper mounts from Speedtech, L&H spindles and an adjustable upper control arm. After that I might still have to re-hoop the wheel to get it to fit but we will see. However, none of my other ideas worked so I guess I will get her back rolling and see what somebody else has to say.
