      Lot to digest there... I read it once, now I'm going back to read it again.

      Ron I think I remember the alignment shop guy telling me that my static camber was 1.5 degrees negative and with 15 degrees of steering input it went to 2.5 degrees negative after the alignment with the new arms. We did not get into dive though.

      Not sure if you can tell anything by this but I'll pass it along as something I did after putting the DSE upper control arms on the car.

      When I made those changes I wanted to record how those changes were different than the stock pieces and this was the best way I knew how, crude but a start.

      I appreciate your taking the time to lay all of that out above Ron. I've heard and read bits and pieces about front end geometry before and it is starting to sink in more and more, but the way you lay it out helps makes things even clearer.

      I have one question to ask, and not that it will make any difference to me in a real sense...but how will setting a front end up like you are describing above for optimum handling on an autocross course effect every day street driving? Will an alignment (or a complete front end setup) arranged for the best cornering be less than optimum for street driving both in tire wear and over all steering feel?

      Now, back to reading again... :D
