Excellent question, Chris.
I will move the rack up to center it at ride height, but that's about all I can do, given the rules. It's one of those compromises, but for me the improved front geometry under roll is the highest priority. The ITB car I built had problems with the front geometry, as I mentioned before. We tried, but couldn't lower it too much without throwing away any usefulness of the front suspension. We had to run much higher rates on the front than I'm comfortable with to counter roll. I subscribe to the "run it as soft as you can get away with" school. And I didn't enjoy how skittish the car was over small bumps, it reduced traction and cornering power. It felt real racy, though...... Just my opinion, though. |
