Richter, I agree, but getting ready to put more gear in it and I know it wont hold. Trying to get a handle on the suspension and be ready.

IC length 39.79 IC height 8.868 Anti-squat 102.515

This put the lower front arm at 9.125". I am thinking I am goint to have to move some mounting points, what do you guys think?

Still need more rear height or lower front end more. need more angle in the lowers.

Ok Whatbumper, what numbers do you think I need to get to so it will work? With the rear raised 1" that put the fender lip at 27", I will raise the rear and lower the front a little more and take measurements.

I just saw the video. Rear is too low and the front is too high. I know that may be what look you are going for but stock suspension is pretty finicky. I don't know exactly without being at your car as the numbers are concerned but with your combo you would want the front of the lowers to be higher than the rears and I don't think it is with your numbers but I could be wrong . It all depends on your specific tire/wheel combo and your front heights. You have a LOT of antisquat by watching the video. You will lower that and move the IC by just changing the ride heights.
