yes i understand its not cut and dry where the lower needs to be pointed. I have a suspension sim and i actually use coroplast graphed out and push pins for real world geometry checks. the issue with a r107 front suspension set up is, the anti dive built in throws any 2d model out of whack. I just dont want the car riding at the end of the usable geometry height and going positive under roll. I plan on removing the spring and rigging an adjustable height lower joint to run it through its travel to see what is ideal, or as close as i can get for decent performance lowered. Plus the change in lower control arm angle (relative to the upper) raises the roll center reducing body roll, same effect as anti squat or anti dive but sideways. Im not even getting into steering arm geometry yet and ackerman reduction for drifting. i'm not a suspension expert but i did stay at a holiday in last night!:-)

so does anyone have that lower ball joint out to measure please?!
