kade-
i think its great youre building your front suspension crossmember yourself. i do have a couple questions on how you decided to set it up as far as the geometry goes. how did you go about figuring what the camber curve needed to be? how did you decide where the caster should be? hows the bumpsteer going to play out? wheres the roll center going to be? i am assuming you are using some type of software to set it up? if so, what program did you decide to use? and would you recommend it to others (software)? sorry about all the questions i am thinking about doing the same thing (fabricating my own crossmember) but know i need to do the homework. i will be keeping an eye on the build and look forward to seeing it on the road.
