In fact it seems to have no feel.
I have checked toe and it is 2mm in. Seems correct. There is slight neg camber, about 1 1/2 degrees. Tyres are hefty 185/55/15, it felt worse with 175/70/13s that were fitted.
Now I have got the car running reasonably I am finding it a bit odd to drive. only thing I haven't checked is castor, anybody have a figure for that? And how is it adjusted (as I am, away from home until late)

TIA

Mine has the same rough dimensions and is really heavy! When you find the cause let me know and ill add some to mine .
Are youre ride heights standard?

Tony

Have you checked the tyre pressures? They're not overinflated are they?

Tyre pressures at 24psi. So not at all hard.
I will have a measure up. The fronts seem about std height, but the car doesn't have std springs in any sense, they are smaller diameter and I calculated about 180lbs. So harder. I have some std spring shocks and springs that gave same height, but steering was the same too. I may swap back!

Are the sills parallel to the ground ie rear not too low making the weight bias go rearward?

Tony

Possible, does seem to sit a touch low at the rear, and soft too (despite changing springs for new, supplied by wins) but that is another story, think shocks may have the pans too low. Feel another q coming on.....
