Hey,
Kind of resurrecting my hibernating build... Again.
So, looking at relocating mounting points of the front UCA's.
I know a lot of guys slot the holes in the frame tabs to the back to get more static caster. Only by eye balling, I have very low caster w/stock mounting points. So, obviously that's a good approach.
How much? Relocate backwards much as I can until I hit the frame (and then some) I figure.
I also have Crash's lugs at the LCA's to (one benefit of them) be able to push the LCA upright mounting point forward.
Now, going to static camber and camber gain.
So, looking at camber gain, my gut feeling is that I want my UCA's angled slightly up static (inside to out) for cornering? I mean, as the outer side compresses its camber increases with body roll and as the inner side "lifts", the inside camber decreases and lean into the corner as well. Or is the unequal length control arm geometry enough? Is optimum parallel with ground UCA's at full droop? Maybe I need to get a suspension geometry sw package...
I'm thinking moving the UCA mounting points back and slightly lower would be beneficial?
(Depending on selected front ride height and choice of wheel/tire height of course)
I'm guessing caster gain (or anti dive) by angling the UCA mounting points is not really needed/wanted with the "light" front end?
My racecar theory is lacking, but if I'm cutting up the frame I figure I should get some input.
