Re: Drifting- Increasing Steering Angle?

Check out Howe Racing enterprises, Lefthander, Port City, Allstar Performance etc. and look at their circle track spindles MOST all of them have spindle arms with tie rod location that is adjustible. They may sell just the piece that goes on the end of the arm as lots of guys are building their own front spindles now. If you have access to a good racing chassis shop, they can build you new spindles with adjustible arms and if you desired a different pin inclination angle 7 degree 10 degree or whatever you want. The stock spindles can be cut up and rewelded no problem, they are cast steel not cast iron. I did it all the time when I raced. Use trig to figure out how much you will gain in turning angle based on how much further back you move the eye. I used to move just the left eye back about 1/2"-3/4" so the left wheel would turn farther than the right when turning left. (I only had to worry about left hand turns in oval track racing).
