But, fwiw, right or wrong, for some reason I'm thinking that you don't square it on macstrut geometry. . . Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net

I have a good friend that is one of the best vehicle dynamics engineers in the country, so I let him do it all, lol. Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net
