Still looking to find out where to locate the instant center for a handling car. I can find articles on oem (in front of car) drag cars (towards rear of car) but not one designed to handle

AdderMk2

there is no difference

geometry all works the same

I understand how it all works, I am looking to find info on the proper location of the instant center, so I can angle my upper links appropriately. Too far back will act funny on the throttle out of a turn, while to far forward decreases forward bite, but makes for better high speed handling.

Where do track cars (not drag cars) tend to locate the instant center?

There is a balance between forward bite and high speed handling. While I can make the brackets adjustable to move the IC around a bit, I would like to get it close and adjust to my driving style from there.

Thanks again guys.

you set it to the center of gravity... this isnt rocket science

If what adder is saying doesn't suit you I will talk to a buddy of mine who sets up road course cars for a living.

Ok, the center of gravity is a good answer. I just have been unable to find any info on it with drag cars being the exception.

Thanks

maybe you should take it as a hint to the fact that you MIGHT be looking around on the wrong forum....
