I just got my car running last weekend. It's the one called Big Red in the V-8 conversion section. I want to start dialing in the car while it is still n/a so I'll be ahead of the game once I get the turbo on. I installed the 8.8 Ford rear with the TRZ kit and a fair amount of fabrication. It seems to hook pretty well but I would like to optimize it. All four arms are rod ended (both ends) and double adjustable.I will be aligning it this week. A few questions.
What should the thrust angle of the rear be?
What would an optimum pinion angle be to hook well?
Any advice, tips, or tricks for a susp like this?
Links explaining setup and theory of this type suspension?
I love the fact that this suspension is completely adjustable in pretty much every way. It made centering the wheel in the wheelwell super easy. I just need some more info on each adjustment and the effect they will have on the car. Otherwise Im just a monkey with a wrench. Below is a link to my rear suspension buildup thread.
