Basically, this is right at the height of the Panhard bar, a good 6 inches above the u-joint. The closer the roll center is the the CG, the lower the roll. 6 inches is a pretty good improvement.
Hey Simon,
Thanks for sharing drawing !
Is there a set distance/location on the right frame rail where the bar attachment is shown ? Or, can it be randomly placed in the general vicinity shown In drawing ? Is the length of bar set, as made and sold by vendors,
or is a longer bar better ??
