I spent yesterday putting all the finishing touches on the car, put a wrench on everything and making sure everything is working correctly. This morning I went out to map the suspension and make any necessary adjustments. Had the laptop there and entered everything in my 4 link program. With my old stuff Rolling Eyes I couldn't even get within 12" of Darrin Morgan's recommendation (green box). I think we will see a marked improvement at the track. The learning curve will be the double adjustable shocks scratch Laughing . Here's a screen shot from the program.

Where was the I/C at with the old setup, short of the green box or farther out than the box?

Before I only had three choices on the upper control arm with the Wild Rides S box and when Moser started making 9" rear axles they didn't compensate for the added height of the 9" housing. IC was either about 20 inches behind or several feet in front of. It either hit really hard or it didn't hard enough to hook up. With the new Racecraft setup I have 3 on top of the axle where they are suppose to be and 6 on the bottom.
