Some quick tips:
• Anytime you're shortening the "swing arm" ... you're increasing Camber Gain ... regardless of how you did it.
• Anytime you're shortening the swing arm length ... & keep the IC at the same height ... you're raising the RC.
• Conversely, lengthening the swing arm length ... & keeping the IC at the same height ... lowers the RC.
• Anytime you're raising the IC of the swing arms ... and keeping the same swing arm length ... you're raising the
RC.
• Conversely, lowering the IC of the swing arms... and keeping the same swing arm length ... lowers the RC.
I do my best to bring clarity to the complicated world of race car chassis & suspension design, setup & tuning. While engineering, geometry, trigonometry, physics & more affect everything we do, I do my best to write in plain English with common, everyday "Car Guy" jargon.
