Hi guys.

I'm planning on doing some suspension geometry mods (already raised my spindles, debating raising trailing arm mounts) and am trying to model my suspension kinematics to see what changes I'm making. The only problem is that my car is on jackstands with no mounted suspension, and I didn't measure anything first so I don't have anything to use as a baseline.

If anyone has a little time, could you post a picture of your car and measure the distance from the ground to rear trailing arm pivot and ground to front a-arm mounts.

If I can get everything to work (I'm using Lotus Shark) I'll share the results.

Thanks! smile.gif

If you find time to stop by the shop James you can take all the measurements you want.
I have a chassis on our frame table right now.

Hey Chris, with your raised pickup points and tall shock towers, what is the limitation on overall tire diameter that can be run before it rubs somewhere on the fender or wheel well?

I don't know for sure but a 25" dia tire is probably ok.

Awesome! Thanks Chris! Hopefully I'll have some time to stop down soon. smile.gif
