what kind of technical specs does this kit produce? camber curve, bumpsteer, scrub radius, roll center, etc.?

[Scottshotrods]

Specs will be posted soon today or wed.
Thankyou,
Justin

Here are some specs of our bolt in coil-over ifs for c-10 trucks.Keep in mind that are airbag version is differnt on the specs.This will also change on your tire dia as well.General specs and keep in mind all of our frontends are differnt in many ways.

1.The track we build these to is 62 1/2

2.Camber curve 1.750 this is at ride height to full compresed total suspension gets 6 inches of travel.

3.Bump steer 2 -2 1/2 degrees through travel of suspension

4.Scrub radius 2 1/16 at ride height

5.Roll center changes 1 13/16 this was all tested on a 28' tall tire.

couple more questions what is the caster? and what height of roll center does kit get? does steering toe in or out during bumpsteer? TIA

Cool... Sprint Car Inspired Sway bar. Have you done any load testing on the arms? Are you concerned about them bending or twisting axially under load due to the bend?

This sway bar is engineered and made by speedway engineering. They've been making this sway bar for many years with alot of success in the winston cup nascar serries with holding 200mph plus speeds. I think this sway bar will hold up to any thing your C-10 can throw at it!

[lakeroadster]

So are you saying the arms on your set-up are heat treated steel arms like those used on the cup cars?

Only reason I ask is the bend bend lines on the arms in the photos you posted above don't look like heat treated steel based on the steel displacement at the bends? (Arms shown below are from Speedway International)

Thanks,

John

Our caster in our coil-over set up was at 1 degree of caster at ride hieght
and increased to just 1 3/4 degrees of caster at full compression.

Roll center was tested at ride height to full compressed

Toe goes out not in during bump steer

thanks justin. wanted to know the roll center height not the ride height it was tested at please clarify. how does this front end handle? is this your performance version? Is the bag option the same specs but with bags our is it different? Sorry for all the questions. TIA

Our airbag set up is a little different and we can also build our frontends
to customers specs as well if somebody wants something differnt.For the
handling on this frontend our customers who have this set up now our
very happy with the ride quality.We are building a shop truck in the shop
now that will be our truck to take out and abuse and we will have this at many shows this year where customers will be able to take it out and drive
to see how it feels and handle.Maybe we will be able to meet up this year at
a show we will give you the keys to go out and drive and you can be the judge on how it handles and then you can let us know.We are doing around
20 shows this years all around the country.

To add to the sway-bar post here.Speedway eng has been making sway-bars for over
35 years and they have been proven over and over by many race teams and many and
I would say all Companies who sell a spline bar by them from Speedway and the arms
that are in question are made out of 3/4 thick 4130 steel cnc machined precision broached and timed.Hopefully this helps

looks great, and look forward to seeing what all you guys are going to offer..really top notch guys
the only 'improvement' id do, is round the corners of the sway bar arms, at the links to the control arm..that make sence?

Good idea and we discussed this the other day on rounding the ends will look even better.

Holy crap, those look stout. Good looking setup.

[cajundragger]

so i got an idea.


what about making the sway bar mount to the LCA inboard of the coilover.

Then the arms wouldn't have to be bent much at all.

[DollaBill]

How do you heat treat them? Curious on the process.

Also never got an answer on roll center height on this kit. TIA
