Would I be right in stating that if you are going to the trouble of adjusting the pivot points, it would be worth doing the math and actually targeting a specific roll centre point?

Google tells me that the COG is 460mm, that'll obvioulsy be from the road. So mine would be 405mm. I know my track is 6mm more than stock when I run my track wheels. So those two points are known, and the only variable left is the arm angles.

Would also need to measure the exact location of the pivot points as the lines need to go through the pivot points you're keeping, and will then show you where the other two pivots points need to be modified to.

I wonder if these measurements are already known, or there is a shop drawing or similar of the subframe. It would be fairly easy to code a programme like the wheel/tyre type calculators. You just enter your ride height, wheel/tyre/offset information, target roll centre height, and it shows the info needed to achieve that.
