As some of you may know i am building a space framed nova.
The car is staying fwd but running a quaife 32g sequential box.
The front track has bee widended using the walden motorsport (pillbeam style) lower arms.
The kit came with caster brackets and rose jointed tie bars.
The problem i have is that the sits that low and with a bigger gearbox in the tie bars foul the gearbox.
I have come up with a couple of ideas to get round the problem but thought i would run them by a few people on here to see what they think.
My first ide is to keep the caster brackets in the correct position and make a tie bar like the one below. Sorry for the crappy paint drawing lmao

My second idea is this one. it lowers the rear of the tie bar but also means lowering the caster bracket. This isnt a probelm, just wonderd what effect it will have on the handling?
