when would you not want it? I still don't see why it being adjustable is an advantage. The very nature of a higher speed course means you'll be steering less, and therefore the effect is smaller....vice versa for tighter courses. If it's designed properly, then I see no reason for adjustability.

And can you please try and be a little more coherent in your posts. Try punctuation...

autox isn't NAZCRAP, so you will need to steer in both directions.

Brian, what are you talking about? He's talking about Ackerman Steering, NOT offset stagger or anything related to roundy-round shit.

This sounds to me like he wants to set the car up to steer better in one direction than the other. Sounds like Nascrap to me.

You don't seem to understand....and im tired of trying to explain it. So go out and do some research on your own. And while you're at it, try to learn how to post intelligent posts.
