Re: Frank's KVA Build

Great looking job there. You mentioned that you were going to add caster to the front end, it looks like you have plenty of room to move your upper wishbone rearward in the mounts, and I can tell you that as you add caster the camber will go towards positive so you will have to bring that upper joint pretty far in to get the neg. camber set.
A guy recently stopped by my shop and was critical of the amount of thread showing at the upper joint on my suspension...about 3/4 inch, but that was at zero caster. I could tell he wasn't familiar with the setup, and when I dialed in about 4 deg. of positive caster I had enough thread to add neg. camber of 1 deg. with 3 or 4 threads showing...about what I was looking for although I may add another deg. of caster, there is definitely enough room on the link and the mounts.
Keep the photos coming...looks great.
Cheers
Phil
