IRS alignment setting for wide rear tires

[Bruce2]

Oh yes, of course! There will be a force pushing the TA down due to the forward force on the TA. And the higher the front pivot, the greater the force. When you break it down to the horiz and vertical components its clear.

Ladder bars on American cars do lift the rear of the car. They do it by planting the rear end down harder. Have you ever noticed how some of them don't squat at the line?

Bruce, that is what I was trying to say when I said the thing about drag cars being lifted as they come off the line. So, I guess you agree that the angle of the TA can have an anti-squat effect? I have personally observed this on the previous cars that I have built. The benefits were very noticeable and very positive not only for straight-line acceleration but also for overall handling.

The only problem I see is that when you raise the inner pivot, you will get positive camber. Raising both will require you to raise the whole torsion housing (a big job). Then it also raises the engine/transmission.

[RonRyon]

The plan would be to raise both the same amount. I'm not using the torsion bars so it will be less complicated. I'll let ytou know how it goes, but don't hold your breath, I move pretty slow these days.
