Ive been reading into different 5 and 6 link suspension setups lately and came across the fact that most suspension designs in general use a short upper control rod with a longer lower control rod. I am a complete novice when it comes to suspension design, so bare with me here... Focusing on this design here: http://www.corvettefaq.com/c3/6link/ I get that the shorter upper arm will pivot on a tighter arc and pull the top of the spindle in while under compression to give the negative camber, but as seen on the graphs in the article the wheel also goes into negative camber when it is in the jounce (opposite of compression?) condition. Is there a reason you would not want positive camber here? It seems like an equal length unparallel setup would be much more optimal as it could produce negative camber while in compression and positive camber while in jounce. Ideas?
