. Im not sure how you would set up antidive. The arms are parellel and I have not had any issues with wheel bearings.

Mike

 if the upper arm mounts are sloped to the rear a bit you get anti dive.

 So your arms are parallel, I can do that.

 Thanks for being so open with info.

I'm assuming you mean fron to back slope... In his write-up, he says the upper a-arms(calmini a-arms) are mounted in the stock location for the lower a-arms, so if the stock a-arms are parallel, then his would be - right?

  I have no Idea! My freind Stan has a lot of cool tools/machines in his garage. He had a bore with the right tapper.

I hate to answer my own posts but it seems to be 1.5 inch per foot taper. As measure by an excellent machinist here at work.

For thoes of us who don't know(well,... me) could you explain what this is, and what this info could be used for?
Also: Mike's friend, Stan is a member here, his username is "37kicker" so you could always send him a PM to find out for sure.
