Default custom front susp. nearly complete

Control arm is not completely finished, needs some more grinding and cleaning up here & there.....







sway bar is just mocked up in it's place, will run a splined speedway bar w/ separate arms, this is a stocker.

Thanks, it's a corvette so the arms only fit that and not even on a stock frame without cutting off the spring pockets and I live in the netherlands so you can guess what shipping costs. There are kits out there (jim meyers racing) but I wanted my coil overs set up like this, close to the ball joint for a closer wheel & spring rate so i had to fab it all myself and I had to move a whole bunch of stuff (I'm going to front steer end take off rack & pinion instead of the stock box / rear steer and the sway bar is mvoed as are some other things, no way this fits w/ a stock radiator setup)

Looks good...who did your design analysis for the new ball joint pivot points?

The lower control arm is dimensionally identical to the original one, the only thing that moves is the spring rate by placing the coil over closer to the balljoint than the original coil spring, the revised geometry is done w/ adjustable upper arms and adjustable upper ball joints.

front steering almost complete, need to notch the frame horns and finish modifying the crossmember, the steering shaft setup will be a little tricky but can clear the dry sump pump pulley by just enough.





Last things to do will be hooking up the sway bar w/ heims (replacing it w/ a splined speedway bar & seperate arms)
