also need to rebuild a QA1 already....1800 miles...hopefully that tucks the top of the tire and allows my to make a 3 point instead of a 76 point turn

You may put your steering column rag joint into bind with lower subframe bushings.

I’m not seeing how either of those changes will gain you improved turning radius.

ive been told about loosening the rag joint.....AGR steering box needs to come out.
Turning ability should increase when I raise the car an inch or so....(I hope) fender lips also getting massaged. The coilover mod Im doing is to better the ride quality
any suggestions on what else I should be doing?

I think you will lose some of the gain when you install the half height bushings.

Anvil wide inner fenders would help quite a bit. Or have your stock inners modified.

Are you hitting the sway bar? A splined bar may gain some clearance.

Post up a pic of your ride height.

The car only rubs on the outside fender lip
I measured the ride height
22 3/4" front 23 3/4" rear......

yes I know how ridiculous that height is....lol

Increasing negative camber can help a little. What are your alignment settings?

He sold his company so I’m guessing he doesn’t care anymore
