Sharing what we learn (both good and bad) is a big deal to us. We all need to get smarter together. Mike and I pay attention to everyone else's builds and have learned from them. It's very much a 2-way street.

Thank you for the info. I'm another one who looks. Wonders why someone is doing certain things. I've read reread alot of articles. Have Herb Adam's book on 'Chassis Engineering'. On my 73 F drag car I modified the front spring perches according to Herbs ideas trying to increase anti squat.

Hey sdbob could you elaborate on the anti-squat I'm not sure of what
it really means and I too am trying to learn all I can.
Didn'tmean to hyjack sorry.

Anti-squat and anti-dive references moment of inertia points on the car transected by suspension pickup points.

Here is a good read on the subject. https://suspensionsecrets.co.uk/anti...lift-geometry/

anti squat would be the tendency for the rear of the car to resist compression. Why you want this in a road race situation is the fact that as the rear squats, while it does add traction at the rear, it unloads the front, reducing traction on your steering tires. this will typically result in a tight exit on power from the apex.

Anti dive does the same thing, but at the front of the car under braking.
