but they dont give more angle, do they? they only change the amount of turns lock to lock -

the issue with lock angle was brought to the fore, in that the car wanted to atain more angle, but lock was cut short by the stops, meaning at lock point the rear was trying to overtake the front, meaning, backing of on power to bring the car back within steering angle. regards the front being to soft, this is the feedback from Rich, and his spotters in the crowd, i have a stiffer Cusco anti roll bar we can try on the front, before looking at upping the Kg/mm of the front springs i will get Rich to do a detailed write up ....and his feedback studying the pics....... i see what your saying about saturation, the problem we have is it is a static image, the weight transfer is what was mostly commented on by Rich, and that is where he says the car feels soft on the front, maybe the progressive nature of the spring is fine, under constant load, but not on the transition and sudden load, unload. a higher kg/mm progressive spring should solve the issue -
23rd August @ Llandow was the final of the British Drift Championship 24th August @ Llandow was the British Drift Open the car broke one of the diff output shafts on the sunday.....which made the car 1 wheel drive

it looks a bit like a Volk CE-28n...and if it was i t is magnesium alloy but it could just be a wheel very similar, ....the center bolt holes look slightly different

well on intial thought, it should work, however you have to consider that the design of the hub is not a mirror of itself, in that the bottom ball joint casting is not always totally central to the centre line of the hub, and the shock tube mounting, again isnt always central (King Pin Inclination) so assuming the bottom ball joint and shock tube mounts are central in the design of the hub assembly i recon you could do it

some truth, some brands are worse than others.....

some tyres de-laminate quicker than others ,and its been found running the tyres backwards prevents de-lamination
