I'm assuming that you cut off the outside edge of spikes when running on astro?
That rear toe block at the back.....it says 3.3 on mine, I've never seen any others for sale ?
Lastly, I'm running 87/18 on a Sp 5.5, how does that sound?
Just waiting for the shell to get back from our Kifo and then I'll weigh it.
I'm ready to roll! |
Rich, I dont think there is anymore rear toe blocks. Mine is the 3.3 also. I have noticed some people running some with no writing on the back and this one must be the 501 kit block which will be 3 degrees instead of 3.3. To reduce the steering I increased the toe out which made the car handle amazing.
At Tally I cut inside and outside row off front and back tyres and car was great. At RHR however the car just wanted to tip all the time. I tried cutting an extra row off the outside rear but this made the backend too loose. I increased the camber from 1 to 2 degrees and this made a huge difference. I think the main reason for the grip roll was the fact that RHR astro is still in new condition and really grippy.
Im running a 6.5 with a 21/91 ratio. Had to turn the end point down to 95% at RHR as the car just seemed too fast. Maybe it was the really good grip I seemed to get...
