You've got me thinking about the suspension again which is good. How much anti-camber is designed under reasonable cornering? Your top control arms seems quite short so camber change will be quite significant and sudden from looking at the photos. Have you stiffer springs in the front? If so then you'd need less of a change in camber. And have you designed in anti-dive, this is where I think the main improvement would be had over the original design. I'm struggling to see how such a short top control arm will be good. I'm no expert on the suspension but it looks like the design will result in a large and sudden negative camber when cornering and loosing full contact and this will be even worse with wide modern tyres. Wouldn't longer unequal control arms be better with a less agressive change in camber, especially if stiffening the suspension.
