Suspension Geometry...

Ok.. So I got All this fancy suspension stuff.. bars, and pillowballs, and adjustable arms OH MY!..

I've got is setup pretty well, this is what I got:
JIC FLT-A2's
JIC Adjustable RUCA
Pillowball Tension Rods
Moog Tie rod ends
Cusco Tension Rod
Do-luck Front ladder bar
Greg dupree subframe sapcers
OEM Sway bars
Cusco OS Front STB (CF)
Cusco Rear OS STB w/ Triangle Bar

I'm not sure how far the car has been lowered from stock.. I didn't take before and after measurements.

Alignment specs are:
Front:
-2 camber
0 toe
+8 caster

Rear:
-1 camber
.13 toe (this is more than likely from lowering the car with the OEM toe control rods
0 caster



My problem (which I have yet to fully diagnose) Seems to be that I am hitting the Rear bump stops on really tight slow corners. Like an Auto-x. Not hard, but it's there. Height of the car was adjusted with nothing but the strut mounting points, spring perch hieght has not been touched. At full droop the springs can be rotated on the perch with a little force.

It appears I have about 2" (maybe a touch more) suspension travel in the back, and probably 3-4 in the front.

I'm also having to run the front struts a good bit harder than the fronts.. out of 16 clicks front and rear.. they are at 11 front, 2 rear.


Any ideas on how to make the setup a little more balanced?
