FC rear camber gain
I was wondering if anyone has ever actually ploted rear camber gain as the suspension goes into compression. My main concern is with excessive camber gain as the car squats in a drag racing set-up. I have video tapes of my car during a launch at the drag strip and the rear squats substantially.
Current setup consists of stock springs and Tokico adjustable struts with the fronts on full soft and rear on full firm during racing. Bogart wheels and MT drag radial tires in the rear.
Thanks,
Andrew

I've been meaning to measure everything and put it into SolidWorks (3-D CAD program), but haven't gotten around to it yet.... Heck I just transfered the title yesterday and I've owned the car for 3 years.

Thanks for the help. I was trying to avoid going through the process of taking the measurements. It's a little surprising that noone has done this before.

No you don't. Weight transfer is unaffected.
The only things involved with weight transfer are CG height and wheelbase (or track width for lateral transfer).

Yeah it's a common misconception that weight transfer is related to the amount that a car dips or sways during acceleration. The stiffness of your suspension does absolutely nothing in regards to weight transfer.
