Fabricated A-Body spindle ideas and discussion

Just a relared FYI. I don't remember where, but I read where someone did an analysis of a-body roll center for road racing, and concluded the correct spindle height was about a 1" drop, rather than the original spindles or the after market 2" drop spindles.

Found the article I was thinking of.

He claims to want to target a 1"-2" front roll center, and was at 3" at that point.

And he is running a 7x17 front wheel and a 225 tire. Based on what I can see, he won't be able to get anything wider on the car. It does look reasonable low, though.

Edit: Not sure what I was thinking, he could run a 17x8 and a 245 tire just like I am. What he couldn’t do is run a 275 wide tire on the front without doing some body mods.
