Improving suspension geometry?

Real tech discussion on design, fabrication, testing, development of custom or adapted parts for Pontiac Fieros. Not questions about the power a CAI will give.

We need to know the total spindle height (distance between ball joint mounting faces), distance between the lower balljoint and the hub axis, distance between the hub face and the steering axis, and the kingpin angle (angle between the steering axis and hub axis). They make them in two heights; "factory height" and "tall". They are for A-F-X body cars and both heights include a one inch drop from stock.
Naturally to build a geometry around these we'd need the right metrology data on them... Which Speedtech is unlikely to share. I'm non-plussed about buying one to measure it myself.

It kinda looks like the the short version might only be an inch or so taller than either one of the Fiero knuckles.
