How's the car drive? Did you have to narrow the suspension at all, or did you make your own k-member and keep everything the same length? What about the steering? You notice any bumpsteer in the setup?

the front as been narrowed by 3 in to get the wheels in the fenders , alu a arms just wouldn't fit so I made my own the buishings are honda lower front forks so they will take the load real good , the rack tie rod ends where shortend by 1 1/2 in each and it took me some time to get the math rite , so there is no bump stree now it's a 4 luger but real soon the 5 lug with active suspension is going in here's a top vew of the rack
