ive seen some fc's on ksports with madd body roll. just sayin my **** doesnt lean without swaybars because of a higher spring rate and different valving/monotube.

Hmmm Caster. I hear the fc feels great with the right amount of caster. If I ever get around to it ill have the caster on my fc dialed in

Probably cut the wheel wells out so the wheels won't rub with the angle kit/ spindles.. My 9.5-8 rubs on the fender well with modified spindles.

My wheel touches the LCA and frame at full lock. 52* degrees angle, pretty standard for the spindle mod I think

so instead of playing call of duty I worked on my car yesterday.
took off the front sway bar, added a little preload in the rear and
dialed in my tire pressure all around.
