Re: Idea for adjustable T-L

I think it's a good idea, it's just figuring out the logistics of it that's a PITA.
It's possible that a type of cantilever setup might be better anyway, I've been thinking about that since last night. See attached pic, and substitute a hydraulic operated cylinder for the shock.
You will have a greater distance of travel for a given cylinder with this setup, so you can have the "in the weeds" stance along with normal ride height. Now, fitting all this onto the lower control arm will be tricky, but I could do it if I had the right cylinder and a good welder. I DO still like my idea of running it off of the p/s pump, as it does away with having extra crap to fail, and to try and hide it so it's out of sight, which in a show car is important, IMHO.
