    Default Control arm dilemma


    I will like to know from the guys who race b13’s that if I am using a full coil over set up Should I avoid to break the control arm horizontal angle when corner weighting? Or if maybe I can get away by breaking some horizontal angle in lieu of a lower center of gravity?

    Geometry on this car sucks. Run about an inch-and-a-half below stock ride height, roughly 6" to 6-1/2" at the rocker panel. - GA

    Saludos Ramon:
    I believe that on Mike Kojima's article "Making Stick" it explaing how to drill a 5/8" straight hole into the end of the steering knuckles and place the tie rod end under under the steering knuckles and Bingo.

    You can do that, but it wouldn't be legal for ITA.

    Aye-yup. But, if you're not concerned about legalities to the IT ruleset, then there's several things you can do to improve it.

    But, this is not the right forum for that. Try sr20forum.com and sr20-forum.com for further info. - GA
