if you were kidding then this is the answers -&gt;
that fits between your chassis ball joints and upright ball joints ....

if you were serious, then your suspension geometry will automatically tell you what A- arm lengths you require after you have given in correct data into the software...

Ours are exactly 2.15e-30 Barns/furlong, when measured as a projection off the driver's left ear lobe (pardon our units, our shop is in a nuclear reactor). Your ideal length may vary.

Maybe try and calculate the loads seen and the properties of the materials you are using for your arms?

So that explains why we all glow in the dark!

And Barns are a real unit.

Apoorav,
firstly, it is good manners to identify yourself and the team you represent, hence the flaming.

Secondly, it is perfectly clear, if you have to ask questions like this, you are nowhere near being ready to enter a FS or FSAE competition.

These competitions are about enhancing your education by giving you an interesting project. You seem to have missed the educational bit.

On this site you will find a list of recommended reading material. Reading these documents is a good place to start.
