OOOPS. I skipped a groove. I thought we were talking Street Prepared for a
moment. I guess that preserving the control-arm (or virtual control-arm via
leaf spring) length may not be required in Prepared. But I really have
little expertise in the current Prepared rules, as we don't use them
locally. Sorry to awake AFTER sending the message. I still think my
"configuration" stance looks like it makes sense, but I don't know how it
squares with the rest of the SCCA Prepared rules.
