Ouch.... Hurts to spend that much on little things (even though those FOC c/o's are nice), but as you know it will all be worth it.

hey nick, i know you used triads calc 3link with panhard for your front, my question is when doing the front how did yoiu compensate for where the cg is??? i would think it would give you some extream angles in your links the way it works as for anti squat and all that. for some reason im just no understanding how to setup the front. the rear is easy with a triangulated 4 link.

generally speaking, your cg height is about at the crank bolt......

but im not really understanding what your saying.....

i am at about 45% antidive which is about perfect, my roll axis angle is about 6*, its a little high, but not really enough to mess with...
