Home built rack and pinion+ coilover build.

Latest update; I tried to swap parts around on the Wilwood discs, and came up short on the needed space for the tie rod location. By flipping parts around I could move the disc out .62 inches, or 1.25 inches. Each will require custom made brake caliper brackets, which could also be built with the steering arm on them. The .62 inch move doesn't allow for proper tie rod length, but the 1.25 inch move might. Moving the brake disc 1.25 inches closer to the wheel will require wheel spacers (1/2 inch to 3/4 inch?), and longer wheel studs. That sounds like a lot of offset, but this front suspension was designed with a lot less back space, so it works out.

It looks like this may force me into a custom length rack. I have been working with one side of the suspension so far. To get the most accurate final dimensions, I will start working with both sides, now that I have a baseline of sorts. At this point, the final width of a custom rack needs to be four inches narrower than a stock Pinto or Mustang rack. The stock units come twenty five inches inside c/c, looks like I need about twenty one c/c. I will try and get some final numbers posted soon.
