Re: Make it handle

KPI Hey, you guys did great sorting that out. Rstone1, if you are serious about fabbing your own set up, get a copy of "suspension geometry pro" from "autoware", it's way cheaper than buying extra steel. My HellBoy C10 has 7* KPA in the spindle. Just so you know. I wouldn't go much less than 5*. When it comes to scrub radius, there is a common belief that '0' is the goal. In this case, however, '0' is a comparison number that everyone can compare to and understand. Like a strarting point. In practical application, as you close in on '0' scrub, you start to loose all steering feel. Now add in power steering and you have no feel at all. In a performance build, I would aim for 2" scrub radius with a 10"+ wide front tire.
