Couple more questions. You are going to have the wheels you have now widen? The 15x10 7.5 back space? If so are you going to have them widen on the front since you are narrowing the rear? Also did you decide to stick with a 3 link or go to ladder bar?
Yes, they will be widened towards the outside (front of the wheel), as I am narrowing the rearend. I decided to go ladder bar, all though the 3 link could have worked. However, the LCA mounts (both front and rear) would have to be moved in, so I decided to just go ladder bar as I already have coil overs, moved inboard, for the rear suspension. The rear mount for the LCA is pretty self explanatory, just move them in on the axle housing the appropriate amount. The front mount you could do like CPRsm if you want to maintain the 3 link.
Sweet! So what are you doing with the suspension? I'm assuming you will be making new brackets and what not.
3 link would work by moving in both the front and rear mounting points of the LCA, but I decided to go ladder bar.
I have a question, Paul.
You have anti-squat brackets correct?
Doesn't that make sure you don't squat, does that go against you wanting an inch of travel in the rear?
just trying to understand weight transfer vs anti-squat
Travel just for street driving, not on launch I assume?
I want an inch of clearance on both the inside and outside, plenty of room so no matter what the car does in the first 60', I won't have to worry about what happened last time out (tire contacted the fenderwell, cut the tire). I also have to worry about tire growth as the car goes down the track. I have video that shows the tires grow quite a bit actually.
My sig pic is with the anti roll bar set to neutral, so the passenger rear does experience some squat as the driver front lifts higher then the passenger front (see sig pic).
