Does anyone know of a good website to find out how to set up your control arms to run better. This is for a 1/3 mile short track.
Thanks

Sorry should have read, to set up a control arm to corner better. I know they can have the angles changed slightly but not sure which way to move it to make it turn better ect...

A good place to start would be to down load or buy a suspension simulation program, they are relatively cheap. You can plug in your chassis pickup points and ball joint heights, it will show you all of the information as the suspension/chassis moves around. No one setting is perfect. It is a continuous compromise between what the driver likes and what the car is doing.
I will say the best thing to do is keep extremely good notes and take GOOD REPEATABLE measurements. When you get something that works well, you can base line off of that each week. The more detailed and precise you are the better the results will be.
I bring in the car each week (Fully fabricated Late Model) and have very specific points that I measure from. I have also developed some tooling to help with the process. Everything gets measured by me when it comes back from the track, and before it is loaded to go back to the track. Since things change from week to week (i.e. ambient temperature, humidity, density altitude, track temperature, the list of variables goes on forever)...If these items were exactly the same from week to week, the car would be exactly the same week to week. However since they vary slightly, so do lap times, by a few percent.

My buddy just Completed the removal and reinstallation of the control arms, bushings, and sway bar components I just forgot about where did he learned it! I'm think in the Pelican parts...
