The wheelbase is roughly the same as the Sprite, not the track - that's what I was trying to say. Norm, as far as exact measurements, I don't know, I was going by internet references... please fill me in if you find better numbers.

I am glad this thread is getting some more attention, thank you all for the help. I can get a bit more specific now as to my application.
You guys have overestimated me, this will be a track day (and auto-X) car that will receieve regular street duty. It would be great to get it entered in...
They are both inclinations of the upright, just different axes. The KPI is the angle the upright is tilted towards the center of car, and caster is the angle it is tilted towards the rear of the car.
Don't worry about thread jacking - this thread seems to have died.
Well it seems as part of what I have asked is a bit complicated. If I simplify a bit and guess and check it may be more relevant. Since I now know that the camber produced by castor and KPI will be an offset, I can offset my camber curve due to suspension travel by this amount. I also know...
I think I just made some sense in my own head. I can now see how castor will add negative camber under turning (on the laden wheel). I can also now see how KPI will reduce negative camber on the laden wheel. Am I right in saying that they offset the camber curve towards the negative but do...
OK, sorry for the delay in response, but I was under the assumption I had already (It has been crazy here)
At any rate - thank you all for your inputs. I of course have more questions that stem from them, but that is what this is all about, right?
Greg, you mention that 40 degrees/m is common...
I am trying to design a clean sheet front (and rear, but one at a time) SLA suspension without a lot of constraints. I have been through this thread and learned a lot of valuable things, but I am still missing some fundamentals.
The suspension will go into a small light car (think Austin...
