Hi Drew,
I don't know if this is a help or an answer to your question, but I
think I would approach it this way. You want your tie rod ends to
be as straight (horizontal) as possible at rest. This is for
something callled "bump steer". The more angle you have to the
tie rods the more toe-in/toe-out you will have as the cars rises or
drops. You'll know your upper limit (chassis rising- wheel drop)
by your bump stops. Racer's (at least Chuck's blue #50) had
adjustable bolts used as bunp stops to limit travel. Lower limit...
well you don't want your tires to rub the inner fenders. Your setup
will probably require some experimantation to get dialed in. I
gues that would be the advantage of adjustable coilovers.
