Im sorry to say, but its mostly the trolley aspect...

The anti squat cannot be adjusted.

Giving out specific measurements for our chassis is not something we do unfortunately! Sorry.

Its also not just the 'angle' of the wishbones ... (when you say flat, I assume you mean vs the ground, or 90deg from dead vertical?)

Not all cars have anti squat... the Atom 3 doesnt! Pretty much anything that has a live axle (unless you have 'slapper' or 'caltrac' bars fitted) doesn't... Front wheel drive cars need the opposite - anti lift on the front axle...

Suspension setup is not straightforward at all. which is one reason that we limit adjust-ability to toe and camber.
On race cars there is more adjustment, maybe. depending on the level you work to. But not for an Atom, it just isn't necessary.

Ride height doesn't have much to do with squat (on an Atom anyway), it reduces the roll in an Atom 3.

This is now way off topic, so could we consider this particular avenue closed, certainly on the forum anyway.

If you would like to discuss further - please call me at Ariel! :tu:
