Did you read through the first post? There are a couple that I posted up.

Anyway, I was responding to racepar1's post.

You have a point, but as I stated in my post, the only real difference is LCA length. Which is really quite slight, as the angle of the ball joints makes the additional length of the ball joint/shank not the length the control arm is extended. Here's my crude Paint example:



And as Def stated, the camber and toe curves change very little with this.

I think you guys are making it out to be a bigger deal than it actually is.
