I read in the going Sub 3 thread that axle height in the rear should be 5/32" and front should be 1/16". Why the difference in height? I'm assuming it has something to do COM advantages when lowering the back?

I'm assuming it has something to do COM advantages when lowering the back? It is one of many jems Glenn shared with us on the forum. It provide some toe-out on the rears and makes for a slick build with the body getting thinner over the front axles. The Jewkes Brothers are 4 time National Champs so it is hard to argue with success. ;D ;D ;D

He holds the PDDR track record in PureStock so following the tips puts you in some fast company.

I'm confused at how this method would provide some toe out. I'm not arguing with it being fast, however. Also has anyone played with a low ride height car say 5/16" or 3/8"? Just slightly higher than the track.

Imagine a car with canted rears. Now lift the nose of the car 45 degrees. As the car rotates up the toe-out occurs...
