What is having to drop the j-bar to the bottom of the pinion mount and 4.5" rake to get the car to roll trying to tell us? Spring rate wrong?
Along that line, what problem would a spring mounted at 7* from straight up have vs a spring at 15 or 20*? That's amount of tilt in at top of spring. Could you adjust for that with spring rate or just tilt the spring in more. What about how the spring points at the contact patch and left to right offset from tire to spring mounts.
Not wanting specific answer for a specific setup, looking for some discussion on general geometry issues.
Thanks,
