Re: New A-Arm Kit

Veek and Ian,

Thanks for the alignment and setting numbers.

I agree with Veek that the ultimate criteria will be driver impressions of performance handling and the temperature spreads across the tire treads. I am a proponent of getting stability by setting up a car so that the relationship between control input and car response is very linear. As a result, my cars tend to be tight as opposed to loose and twitchy. I can already tell you from previous experience with Ian's A-arms that being able to set caster in the rear uprights made a noticeable difference in straight line stability. I plan to start Part VI of my CAV modification thread tonight or Monday and I will use these initial settings. Hopefully I will get my car back on the street this week and to the track at the first opportunity.

Bob
