This is a simple matter of geometry. The lever shock has a base width of 2.75" between the mounting bolts (left to right), and a shaft height of 1.75" from the mounting surface. If you install a 1/8"

Now I'm intrigued also. Does anyone know what kind of angle change results from using the negative camber wishbone arm sets sold by Moss and/or Victoria British? I've perused the two catalogs, but th

Two summers ago, that was my major project. I put in all Energy Suspension bushings (red) and the anti-camber arms. I think I can see the difference. I don't know about feel the difference though. Be

Not right offhand. This is a number that should be published in the catalogs, but isn't. As a sort of rule of thumb (and reasonable guess), the most commonly mentioned number is 1 degree negative cam

In addition to the resulting negative camber, I'd be curious to hear what people think of the value of these arms as a modification. When you lower the car with the springs, it goes negative anyway.

When the handling starts to degrade instead of improving, or your tires wear out in a few thousand miles, it's too much. For the normal daily driver street machine, anything other than original facto

This gets to the heart of something that I am very interested in. First of all, when my 1971 MGB was stock, it was really quite balanced - it didn't push like a pig at all. At the limit of adhesion i

I find it odd that the hot ticket with the vintage racing MGB crowd seems to be a 7/8" or even 1" front bar with NO rear bar whatsoever. In my mind, if I put a 7/8" front bar on my currently-well-bal

The initial reason for my 7/8" front sway bar was to try to keep both rear wheels on the ground as much as possible. Without a limited slip diff (which I now have) it was frightening to see the tach
