That's an easy way to do it...the goal is to have the control arm instant center somewhere behind the front wheel, and above the ground...

This is badass info. Is it safe to say that that I can use the stock angle, or is there a math equation that I can use to figure this out?

Thanks again man this is good stuff

We really don't have enough forum space to get into front end geometry..lol. It gets complicated very quickly. Put the upper arms back at the factory angle and you'll be fine. People really underestimate or just plain don't understand why anti-dive is so important, until you hit your brakes and your ass end slides out from under you...lol.

So is there any other way to achive this without tilting the a-arms? I stopped by Art Morrison, www.artmorrison.com, and checked out the suspension they got on display for there mustle cars and I cant see them tilted at all. So there has to be a diff way to achive this right?

If you're talking about their MII kits, they usuually only have about 2 degrees built in, and it's hard to visualise on those kits..but it's there. I've never seen any other way to more effectively build anti-dive into a suspension, as it directly effects front end compression on braking..

ALL THESE QUESTIONS AND LOOKING AT PICS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SET UP THE FRONTEND PROVES U DONT NEED TO BE DOIN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BINGO!!!!!!!! maybe you should start a thread asking how to design suspension instead of trying to sell a part that you have no idea how to properly build.
