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???
