Thanks! Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Getting close to wrapping up the front suspension design. I think I have my wheel / brake issues settled and all the parts related to that are here or on the way. The compromise I had to make was to give some on the scrub radius so I wasn't spending $1000 a wheel to get the offset and brake clearance where I wanted it. So the scrub will be about 1-5/16" with 17 x 9 Cobra R wheels with a 45mm offset. To get the caliper clearance (2000 Cobra R Brembos) I needed with 45mm offset wheels, I'm using a 1.25" offset Wilwood hat and a 13" Coleman Racing rotor.

I've got the front suspension geometry plotted and here are the camber results. I'd like opinions. Too much? Not enough? I'm thinking I want to shorten the upper arm a little bit to pick up a little more gain on the curve.



Caster is at 4 degrees
Anti-dive at 3 degrees
Roll center height is about 2-3/4" - 3-1/16" depending on how much tire squash I have.




And here are some screen shots of the design.








I need to check some things on the steering yet (https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...and-bump-steer), finish the design for the suspension pickup points and upper coil over mount and then I think... finally..... I'll be comfortable enough with the design that I can start building something.
