Default Help me setup my 4 link!

Car 84 rx7
2780# with driver and fuel, no corner weights
1460 front
1280 rear
24" or so cam height
97" wheelbase

Ls3, t56 trans 8.8 rear 520-540whp. 3.73 gears but needs 4.30s to be optimal
Stock mounting points on chassis aren't good but I made some new stuff for the axle that I hope will work better. tire is 235/60-15 drag radial or 26-28x9 slick

All numbers wi 26" tire from a level floor at current ride height. Would like to lower it 1.5" in the near future as well. The super short upper arm is a pain but that is as long as I could make it.

Lower arm from floor
7,8,9" axle
8.75" front
19" length
Upper arm from floor
17, 18" axle. Can add another hole at 16" if needed
15.25" front
9.25" length


This is a new setup haven't worked with this short of wheelbase and light in the rear to boot, i am going to go test with the lower in different spots today out on the highway, just want your thoughs on what locations will theoretically work better. thanks for any help!
