I would like to know if anyone has a front end design that can be implemented on my metric clip. I have two mods both metric and they currently have nova lowers. What I would like is to potentially purchase a front end design that has been proven on (ump mods) other cars and have it applied to mine. So then I'll have correct camber curve, caster, front roll center etc. Or maybe this has so many variables my idea would never work?

Fast cars have the front working with the back to aid in consistency of handling and balance. Grafting a pre-designed front end without regard to the overall design of the back is just a guess whether it's an improvement or not. To aid in the complexity and confusion of your question, the "right" geometry is what compliments the back the most. It has little to do with absolute numbers thrown all over he net by those looking for ideas to make their own stuff faster. There is some merit due to the generic attributes UMP race cars have these days.

Various chassis builders have different philosophies.
