what you ought to do is make them like legos: stackable to set proper roll center continent on the amount the car is lowered.

so probably make a main RCA to offset a 1" drop then another for a .5" drop from stock.

1" and .5" sizes and possibly a .25" size.

so stackable rca's? i like. i just drew up a standard rca and was gonna go from there....

i also thought about modifying the plan so as we could run the suspension at the stock location and the optional places

actually, to introduce more negative camber at stock height, the best solution would be adjustable LCA via weld in rod ends.

the RCAs are just to correct the steering geometry when lowering any car.


did you consider renaming this thread to RCA and steering geometry designs? ;)
