Van Diemen 2000 wide track suspension setup guide

I'm looking for some info on the arm lengths. I have found this in fragments some are in inches others mm.

This seems to be the best one I have found so far.

I have the Primus version and two other ones that are slightly different. One showed everything in metric.

Thanks for that.

Does anyone have corner weight percentages I should try to target?
For ride height, just doing what's in the manual?

This is my first time trying to do a DIY alignment. A fellow member is going to help out with scales / tools.

We just need the info.

Thank!

Any other info or is this secret info that no one wants to share?

I just want to make sure the manual is good and accurate as the info is 20+ years old. I have found other manuals with typos or commonly misinterpreted info.

Thanks for the help. I hope to see some of you on track this coming season.

I have a Citation, so I'll provide some generic comments:

Weight front to rear is controlled by the CG and weight of the car, so that's not adjustable w/o moving mass around. I go for equal L to R front corner weights (IMO, the most important) and I don't worry about the rear. I have never had any issue doing this, and equal front CW's help prevent brake lockup and usually provide similar handling in L & RH turns.

Ride height is usually set just high enough to keep the bottom from excessive contact with the ground. The exact height you need F or R depends mostly on suspension geometry and wheel rate.
