Plotting the I/C location length and height is all well and good, but with the limitations of Stock racing, with the driveline (including crankshaft C/L) being inherently high in the car, you can't treat it as you would a full tube chassis car in regards to the I/C length and height.
I've found that the I/C needs to be long and high to help use the sprung weight to help transfer (or roll) toward the rear, while simultaneously applying some "plant" to the rear axle housing. The greatest percentage of the Stock type vehicle weight is located above the spindle/axle centerlines, and your suspension geometry must take full advantage of a bad situation. I appreciate what is being said about the Camaro, but all we know about leaf spring cars does not apply to these factory trailing arm/coil sprung cars. I never did sort out clearly as to whether your car has any or all solid bushings in the rear bars? As mentioned, the more compliant bushings will have/use more pinion rotation under load, resulting in the need for more static pinion angle. |
