I have room up front to push out my wheels about one inch. Where can I get 4 lug spacers? If I played my cards better, when I got my Panasports I would have had two made with a different backspacing to allow for the more room up front, but I was not wise. Are spacers generally considered ok for this? I know I would have to have longer lug bolts, or have longer studs put in. Anything else?

QUOTE The problem I have with ALL the authors Blake made reference too... the books are all very old technology. Most of the Authors are dead as well as some of their thoughts. Old, but not outdated. These guys wrote the bibles of race car engineering and, like the Big Book, they are still in print and highly regarded as the fundamentals upon which the current crop race car engineers are educated. They are not out of date. If you believe that "less is more" is a theory based on technology, or that terms like "track" have changed in the last twenty years, I'd like to see the books or meet the people who say so. QUOTE I 100% agree that the steering becomes heavy. I also agree that we are stressing the steering linkage... but I also know that the steering linkage can hanlde 3 times the stress we are putting through it (tested the U joints/splines). Well, again, where did I say it couldn't handle it? All I've said is be conservative if you are guessing but if the manufacturer did it (for street cars) then everything is cool. Nothing has changed since the first post, except my post count! |
