Robert, I really DON'T have the geometry figured out! At least not yet. If my latest measurements are accurate. A big if. The roll center on the front of my car is currently at 0.9 inches. In dive it goes below ground, and in combinations of dive and roll can move sideways a lot. I want to drop the car in the front an inch or so. If I do it by spacing the spring pans, the roll center goes to about an inch below ground. But the camber curve actually improves as does left/right movement of the roll center. That is what I will probably do in the short term. But I am still comtemplating upright changes that would allow me to lower ride height about an inch but raise the roll center to about 3 inches above the ground. This would also improve the camber curve and left/right roll center movement, but would be a lot more work. Theoretically, the higher roll center would allow me to run the front end a lot softer and still control roll.
What I would really love to figure out is how to improve the camber curve in roll, without causing lots of negative camber in dive under braking! Guess there are always tradeoffs!
