anti dive

[Cement Legs]

What are the implications on anti dive by having your front mount on your front a arm lower than the rear mount on your front a arm. Im thinking that you would still have a vertical and horizontal component from your a arms to transfer force to your damper but is there something fundamentally wrong here that I'm not thinking of. We were just brain storming and wondering what would happen if you made a-arms out of CF and instead of using 'bars' made triangular plates to develope some downforce. I know the idea of downforce is very minor at the speeds we are traveling at but just on principle, does anyone have any feedback?

you'd probably have to run like 300% anti dive to get any real downforce out of your a-arms. i've kicked the same idea around before and decided it just really wasn't worth the effort. although a triangular plate a-arm might make sense structrually if you can make it lighter then a steel version but i wouldn't say the main reason for doing so is for downforce.
