Ok.. Long time listener, first time caller.
The Project is yet another mid engine conversion involving a 1985 Shelby Charger and the front clip of a 1988 Daytona.
The question I have is this, the front suspension of the daytona (and of course the SC) have a decent amount of Anti dive geometry dialed in, and the basics of that make perfect sense to me. Now that this suspension system is moved to the rear this same geometry becomes what looks to me like an excessive amount of "pro squat" geometry, something I am pretty certain I want to avoid.
It would seem that the strut needs to move forward into what would be a dangerous wobbly pro caster position if it were still in the front, and the Lower control arm needs rotated a bit to end up with a "anti-squat" design.. I kinda fear moving things this far because clearly I don't have enough knowledge to understand how that might effect a number of other variables of the suspension design..
It seems that since it is not as stylish to run this type of rear suspension the information is more limited. So any answers would be great, or steer me to the right place learn. I am not afraid of reading or libraries.
I think if I felt really had a better grasp on the side view instant center and how all that works with the McPherson/Chapman strut rear suspension I would be more comfortable, but then again, maybe that wouldn't be a good thing.
Am I just worrying about something that isn't that big of a deal? Over thinking this maybe? Is this something the Shogun guys and others just don't worry about? I can't figure out if I am just adding more crazy to a crazy project
