Yes I read that thread and I find it rather interesting.
I have to admit I have made adjustable control arms to make doing a wheel alignment way easier.

To be honest I did expect Robert Logan to have done a bit more home work.
I have pritty much let it go but as time goes by I here more & see more hints leading to poor suspension geometry.

Tonight I sat looking at my car which is sheeted out & body is going on
& it is at a stage that I dont consider to far away.
I said to myself self you should never trust anyone always check for yourself.
I did do some basic measurements but I will go more indepth ,If i have to move suspension points then so be it .
Robert Logan did say to me he had a suspension guru from a very well known team(I will not name) work out all the geometry.
BULL****.
Making arms ect is not a big deal.
It should have all been worked out my chassis is 105 so that means there are 104 wrong ones before me.
There is plenty of literature out there on these subjects personaly I think the homework had been done & thats all it was going to get.

I have spocken to the new owners at RF ,I think these boys will do a good job they are engineers and seem bright and are aware of the problems and will be sorting it.
I will sort it out in time.
I am thinking the best approch for me is put it together drive it then I have a bench mark other wise I dont know if its better or worse.
It will go on the aligner without the shocks & springs & send it through the motions.
Track or street Ron it shouldnt have bump steer ,Robert got it in the front & rear by the look of it oh well at least he was consistant.

Ron the Audi box I think RF are making parts already for them I spoke to BOBSKI today & he got an adaptor plate & gear linkage.
Yes im going the 4.6 and the Audi box ,bought a c&p of mick from 40inches.com
