Trying to figure out if I can safely go 1" per side to make the front track the same as the rear....I currently have 1.25" thick spacers, so I could eliminate those which would be nice.
I figure not that big of a deal on the camber since that is easily fixed by opening up the top of the shock tower (salvage title car, so no worries about "ruining it" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) ) For those that have installed turbo-tie rods, do you think there is enough adjustment to move the ends out an inch per side???

Positive scrub radius doesn't seem to be a huge problem with a track....other than the steering effort.....at least from my experience with wider corners.
On an AX car where you're cranking in a lot of steering lock, it will make the car push like a bitch. At 5 mph in the pits and a lot of lock, I can feel the front tires skipping sideways over shittage laying there. I *think* this translates into push in tight corners....bad push. In larger radius corners and slaloms, we gots oversteer....a bunch of that also. I'm looking for more balance twixt the 2......it's tough for an old guy to keep track of what to expect.
