3. Think a little more about what they did with those knuckles. It surely isn't a "no brainer".



4. Pics of your roll center correction please...

5. I think you may have gone too far on the rear roll center correction at least though.



6. That is exactly how you determine rear roll center to the best of my understanding...
1. Yes of course , I have actually altered my kpi and scrub radius. I had to fit 10mm shims between the disc and the hub, because the bottom ball joint collided with the disc.

2. Maybe iam wrong then, I will go back and look longer and harder at the pics.

3. I agree with that, I have removed some but not all. I think it helps with smooth transitions whilst drifting and also is better for turn in. However I know there are a lot of peeps that swear by zero ackerman.

4. I haven't got any, but I will post some up. The only problem is that the method I used and the parts I made are essentially a bodge, I only intend to use them to prove the problems I had. Now that I have answer I can start maing new lower arms. I will make them simialr to the godspeed arms, but I will use quality bearings (pillowballs) and build in some kind of rc adjustment.

5. I agree with this but iam willing to leave it as it is until I determine c of g or become a better driver.

6. Yay I am only 85% retarded
