Need a little help figuring something out

[SSLance]

Alignment is done, as are bump steer adjustments.

Got -0.50 static camber on both sides and +9.25 caster driver, +9.125 caster passenger side. Close enough for now, I'll fine tune that on the alignment rack once I get some longer UCA bolts in the passenger side.

At 2" of fender compression from ride height, the camber gains to -2.50. Toe stays steady until about the same height, then it toes out just a bit as the fender goes to 23" or full compression...exactly as Ron prescribed.

With a fender ride height of 26", the front will compress to 23" where it sits on the shock bump stops. At this point the tie rod is just kissing the frame, it will still move easily for about a half turn of the steering wheel each way before binding up. Lifting the car 1/4" freed it up completely. I still need to extend the stock style sway bar end links a bit to keep the sway bar off the tie rods, I'll measure for that before putting the front springs on, shouldn't be a big deal though. The bolt will be long enough, just need to add some spacers to it.

Fender will rise to 29" without lifting the tire off the ground giving a front wheel travel of at least 6", 3" compression, 3" extension.

I have 700# 8" long springs and 600# 10" springs on hand for the front.

I have 200# and 185# 12" long springs for the back. Ron has calculated the 185# rear & 600# front for the correct Tweener high travel/low roll setup.

I'll have to compress the 600# springs approx. 1/2" to pre-load them on the shocks.



Tonight we start bolting on parts for the final time and nut n bolting everything to make sure it's all tight. Biggest part of this will be cutting the 3" diameter holes in the trunk floor for the reservoirs...

The build continues...
