Would shortening the spring towers be a legal mod? It seems like it should
be legal. From my experiments with FSGP, that looks like a very good thing
to do. By lowering the upper fulcrum you improve both camber gain and roll
center height. With a more sophisticated program like SusProg3D, you could
probably predict body roll and determine how much to shorten the spring
towers to get the camber gain you need for maximum tire patch. It will
probably need to be shortened about 1 to 1 1/2 inch. Has anyone tried this?
