The car is low, but not THAT low. My steering arms dont go negative unless the springs bottom out. We tried to "wiggle" the car when tools was on it, and the varians is very little when the car is standing still.

I use Sgl. ventilated front discs w. 42 mm brake cylinders.
Hello Farmer,

Sgl. ventilated discs? What's that? Is this a non-stock setup?
Does it increase the track of the car? Where did you get the brakes from?

The scrub radius is different from the scrub angle.

Read this 2 links. One explains scrub radius and the other explains the benefits of reduced scrub radius.

I suspect that your car like me has excessive scrub radius.... I'm hoping to correct that soon. But first I need to sort out what's correct for stock and what's not....

Sprint.
