Default Steering Axis Offset

Does anyone have any experience playing with steering axis offset? If so any guidelines for how much/little and the associated effect (or links to technical articles you have found). No I'm trying to get tricky with my suspension but by adjusting my offset I may be able to solve a packaging problem with a spindle modification I'm playing with.

So we are on the same page here is a link of a diagram that describes steering angle offset. http://www.super7thheaven.co.uk/glos...g-axis-offset/

Thanks in advance.

Bart

That's crazy I was wondering the same thing. In some ways I would think it would require less caster, but I don't what the benefit would be?

Thank you. I'm very familiar with the thread you listed. I wasn't looking at kpi. Rather the offset. I did not see that anywhere in the thread

Sorry for the belated response. Feels like I've been at work for the last 2 months straight.
