Default Raked trees and Raked Cups...

Still trying to find anybody that has used both raked trees and raked cups in conjuntion. I thinking of adding rake but still need some feedback before I make the leap.

Raked cups are for correcting geometry issues casued by (among other things) raked trees. You must have a thorough understanding about the geometry of your front end before you begin to tinker or else the results may not be what you expected.

Have a look here:

Read everything you can find on the subject and then you'll be ready to ask some more questions - but at least they will be informed ones.

Well if you want to do it right, cut the frame, and don't shortcut it. Again, it's just my opinion....
