senior suspension moment

Guys I'm having one of those senior moments when you know you are doing something stupid but can't remember the hell why!

I'm widening the front track on my car and am trying to do it without altering the inboard attachment points also I'm using someone elses spreadsheet to work out the camber variations.

Trouble is he used different coordinates to the ones I'm used to and I've redone it so many times I can't remember if I'm trying to get slightly negative camber on both wheels or negative camber on the loaded wheel and positive camber on the unloaded wheel and why!!

Time to pack it in and watch the mindless box I think.

The object is to try to keep the tyre treads parallel to the road surface. Body roll comes into operation on corners. If the wheels just go up and down with no camber change they will roll with the body. Wheels should go negative on compression, positive on extension.
