[quote="vik351"]So what does this mean Bobie???

Then modify front upper wishbone rail pivot positions by 1" (25mm to you younguns ).

How much rooting around is that??? Sounds too hard :shock: :shock: :shock:

What did you find the best size anti roll bars???

Dont know if I would bother with the Watt link setup for the couple track days a year...

vik...once again,sounds too hard :x :x :x[/qu


This is an old Mustang trick it alters the steering geometry a little and makes them steer into corners better, and yes it is a bit of mucking around.
Best size roll bars are the biggest whiteline make if you want to get serious about handling.
also DONT use tyres that are too wide for the rim as they tend to roll too much.

Bob :D

Adjustable because they can be set up for different conditions (eg. track or touring ) track setup can be a little hard on the rest of the system and your tyres :roll: :shock: :idea:

the old blokes got it right, shelby and the boys were lowering the top arm in the 60,s to give a lower roll centre and make the mustang/falcons stop understeering. as for the rear we made an adjustable panard rod for a mates xy group nc race car could probably find out the roll bar sizes weve come at for the best handling, are you worried about comfort or handling.

"are you worried about comfort or handling. "

Thats the bloody trouble,I want both,but you cant have one without the other.

The car is a weekender,which means the squirt in the hills,where you would like it to handle,then the cruse to the coast and back,where comfort would be good...

vik...I know,everything is a compramise,but try and find the balance :roll:
