    Is the plan to try to coil bind rf to maintain attitude?
    My advice is to set your frame at the attitude you wish to run. Probably need engine in car with headers, radiator, etc.
    As I stated in other thread, the rules and required tubular a arm limit where you can put the mounts.
    Tack weld the upper mounts in place where you feel you have correct caster and adequate camber to get the best traction at the rf while in that attitude. Do the same for the lf.
    Look closely at where this puts the dynamic roll centers.
    Set it back at ride height and determine if bumpsteer will work.
    Compromise from there.

      There's a reason why builders like Rocketman in Phoenix City charge 30k for a complete car!

        You're right, there's a reason chassis builders get away with charging so much, but we're not rich, were not spoiled kids, I prefer to build our own, and know why something works or doesn't work, i do not want people holding our hands and telling us what to do,

          as for holding the rf down, itll be a soft spring, probably 600 or 700, with an extreme tie down rf shock

            After thinking about it, since most are running the new aftermarket frame, why dont you try to buy just the frame from Rocketman, and finish it yourself. You'll be wayyyyy ahead of the game!
