So solidworks isn't really the best thing to use here. I can drop all the points in CAD but what we need to do is solve for the new angle and position of the upper control arm mount.
Basically you have to create a program through a software like Matlab which optimizes links and stuff.
The lower control arm pivot axis is fixed and so is the length. Figure stock spindle height and .5 longer upper and lower ball joints. Plug in the optimal caster gain and it should tell you where for performance the upper control arm points needs to be.
Give me 6 months and I might have the position figured out 🙂 I should be taking a class next semester to learn how to do this.
Wouldn't it be easier to put a mark on the frame where the current ball joint is and line the new, equal length control arm up with a little extra caster and camber?
Is it really worth it over the price of new arms?

Couldn't you hog out the existing mounts a bit to tweak it as well? The anti squat in the back of my C5 Z06 is very pronounced, that's where I learned to visualize how it works.
We CNC plasma cut this part. It is weld on, comes in a set of 2 and delivered to your door $34.99.
