Wondering about the geometry on the front suspension. I am trying to add a rack on a track car. Did the later race cars run a rack? Was the front lower arm location moved? I have read that the Group 5 e21 ran the same front as the last CS race cars, the e21 has a rack.

I have a Maserati Biturbo, it has CS front struts, that is the rack and steering arms I am going to use. I also have some knuckle risers that allow use of e28 strut tubes, they may factor in also. Looking at early e23 arms as I think I heard some of the 7 series parts were used on the Grp 5 cars.

Anyone have any experience with this? Any photos of front suspensions? It would make fitting the rack easier if the front arm was mounted forward like the e21/23/Maserati.

Thanks
