Got some inspiration yesterday and stayed at work for a little update :)
Half way there :)
https://www.nopistons.com/attachment...ine=1339828511
Tada!
https://www.nopistons.com/attachment...ine=1339828511
https://www.nopistons.com/attachment...ine=1339828511
I went well, but I had some luck! There will be tight between the rims and caliper.
But, if you remember, I can't move the brakedisc futher in.
This is two old pics of the disc and chassi :)
https://www.nopistons.com/attachment...ine=1339828511
https://www.nopistons.com/attachment...ine=1339828511
And here is the result. Very small, but fun update :)

Finished the lower brackets for the Coilovers.
https://www.nopistons.com/attachment...ine=1340289375
https://www.nopistons.com/attachment...ine=1340289375
Have changed my Cad a little. Moved the bracket 50mm to the center of the car, to gain 61.5° angle on the coil at rideheight, and 66.0° angle at full bump.
This is what it looked lite before the change.

Today I got the spindle-surface straightend.
To be sure that the caliper and disc are in level.
And also, to get a fine surface to attach to.

Today I did a mockup to see that the coilover-lenght could ba about right, and that the angles looks good in the car.
I also got som used rear tires, also to mockup and make sure the fit later.

I recieved a rod yesterday, Delrin, for bushings. My wife is happy with me as I am :) Coming to these using a stainless steel sleeve model 16x2mm.
https://www.nopistons.com/attachment...ine=1341678012
This is what it would look like, as common.
https://www.nopistons.com/attachment...ine=1341678012
Then today I got to work hard because I do not have access to laser-cutter. Began to mill as deep as I dared, without them to come off, and the plate begins to vibrate and break the cutter. Then there has been much handwork! Good for me, to practice a bit. Continued on these!

Came up with an new idea about the Camber-adjustment. Simple to adjust with only one tool, and no need for deassembly anything around it.
https://www.nopistons.com/attachment...ine=1342640999
4pc Ø30mm steel.
Did not have the possibility to use the CNC-lathe tonight, so it has been some therapy in the manual lathe.
M20x1.5 thread for streanght and good adjustments.

How do you decide what angles to use for suspension? Is there a common setup to use, or is this something that requires lots of math and engineering for each application to figure out what's best?

I have had alot of help on a Race-forum in sweden. But the double wishbone-setup in my Volvo has been in my mind and Solidworks for about 2,5 years more or less. There is so many things to calculate, and somewhere you have to give in...
