We really don't have enough forum space to get into front end geometry..lol. It gets complicated very quickly. Put the upper arms back at the factory angle and you'll be fine. People really underestimate or just plain don't understand why anti-dive is so important, until you hit your brakes and your ass end slides out from under you...lol.

--------------------------------------------

So is there any other way to achive this without tilting the a-arms? I stopped by Art Morrison, www.artmorrison.com, and checked out the suspension they got on display for there mustle cars and I cant see them tilted at all. So there has to be a diff way to achive this right?

--------------------------------------------

ALL THESE QUESTIONS AND LOOKING AT PICS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SET UP THE FRONTEND PROVES U DONT NEED TO BE DOIN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im sure that you just woke up one morning and bam, you know everything. People ask questions all the time. Does this mean that anyone that has a question about something then they just shouldnt do it? These are the comments that get me pissed off. There not needed. Im doing this as a learning experience. Being a ass makes you no better then how I was acting.

Most people study suspension geometry books not stare at pics and try to build what they see

Click the links. Buy the books. Read them....thoroughly. Take lots of notes.

Most of those books are geared toward race setups, but there is a ton of usefull info in there...

He is going to start from scratch Keef, no reason to use any of the previous suspension theorys when you have a welder and a picture of a cool looking control arm.
