Just from observation, the C5 seems to have near 100% anti squat. Not the best thing for forward bite, as it seems to shock and spin the tires a lot.

The C5 and C6 have a LOT of anti-squat. I was surprised to see how much they had.

Anti-Squat?

Some, but not a lot, I'm not at liberty to give out numbers. We've changed it depending on tire manufacturers, and issues getting power down, on turn exit, for example.

I've been looking for a "public domain" picture online, to post, but so far I haven't had much luck.

Does this help?



SEMA members can get most of the CAD files.

I'm dealing with the same issue on my older 80 vette. While redesigning the rear for track days I have 3 vertical positions to mount the lower trailing link at the frame. The upper link is a fixed location. Of course this meant I also had to add a toe link.

Can't wait to take to the track this spring but still have a few things to complete then get a base 4 wheel alignment done. Looks like the wife is going to be first to the track with her Miata

Been a fun project building everything myself but it's been a lot of work especially building a hub carrier to accept the trailing links, toe link, coil-overs and Wilwood calipers.

Have you seen this?

or this?

Brian, Yeah saw both of those and if I had to do it over again I might consider the Guldstrand kit (the kit is not cheap). The dragvette kit does add the safety item of a driveshaft loop but not sure if the upper link is adequate for me to use it as a true upper link and not use the drive shaft as the upper link. I think the dragvette kit also removes camber gain which may not be good for a road race track car.

My time this week was adding a bracket to terminate the emergency brake sleeve near the hub. Texas tests the emergency brake for the nannual safety test. Another drawback to having a car that's licensed for the street.

I bolted everything in place this weekend. Let the rotor off

Wish I had control arms like the modern vettes but it's been fun. This was just a temp install so a few more things to complete like the upper shock mount.

Nice work there!

Thanks Brian. It's been a lot of work and buying the Guldstrand kit would be the way to go if funds allowed.
