    I cant figure it out either. Unless their lowers have a lot of angle its impossible...

    But apparently they dont want to discuss it. Whatever, maybe its why my cars handle so well Im doing everything different, lol..

        1\8 towards the tire like your saying yours were? Ive said twice not sure if you just go out away from the car with the upper line until it intersects or what??

        My program takes all the front end numbers and I dont have oem like I said. Ill have a frame on the jig this week and might measure it up, Im burried with cars to build, garage addition on my house, bathroom remodel upstairs, my jeepster is torn apart in my racing stall so Ive gotta get 4 link rear 3 link front and my new axles struts in it etc. BUSY..

        If you want me to lay it out your way and just run it way out till it hit I could lay it out on my shop floor in 5 minutes tomorrow.

        I just worked on your old chassis that chad bought and Ill say this, I havent got a lot of faith in your car modification techniques. He couldnt get as much camber on the rf with your a arm mounts to get near what I run on the left front!

        The whole construction of that car defies logic, reason and triangulation.

        Youve always got some really nice looking alum and bodys though!

          i dont lay anything out except for the car centerline. then measure all points and input them into the program and it calculates it. same way all roll center software works.

            Yours obviously isnt working. Simple layout proves that for ya. Try it some time its really easy.

                Whats a fan favourite? Is that like coopitition that Larry McReynolds says?

                So you set your car up on a shaker or pull down machine? None of those stats make sense Jimmy Johnson was the champion most of those years.

                      I asked WHERE you were winning?

                      You didnt answer that. lol..

                      Still not sure now why your posting in this thread at all, now you claim to have never used scales or measured anything. But earlier in this thread you were saying we needed pull down machines, lol.

                      You must be buddys with Ego, he never answers anything directly and most of his posts are useless.

                                Hey Jeff, I have a couple questions I would like to ask you if you have time about the front spring set. Is there any chance we can talk on the phone instead of messaging back and forth on here? Thanks
