I think center exit is what I’ll go with but when I get the tips I will Mach it up both ways just to see what it looks like

Having proper rear suspension has made me realize how much I hate my front suspension. Springs are to soft(my fault), dives to hard during braking, has to much body roll, only an inch of travel before it hits the bump stops and so on. Today I bought some c7 vette front knuckles and plan on making my own control arms. I will most likely design everything in cad to get the geometry right before I build it. This way I can drop a few pounds of the front end and make it handle how I want. I also plan on swapping to power rack and pinion. It might be a few months before I get started on all this but I will keep y’all updated.

The C7 unit bearing is a performance upgrade over the hub/spindle design too.

Yes it is, not sure if you’ve seen some previous pics on this thread but I’m already using a zl1 unit bearing and plan on swapping that over to the c7 spindle along with my brakes.

My c7 knuckles came in today, I haven’t weighed them but they feel about 1/3-1/2 the weight of the knuckles I made. This along with custom control arms should be a healthy amount of weight reduction.
