Not sure what is commonly aimed for.

That's a good question. Maybe a good topic in the steering section.

The short answer is no.

I don't think full lock and full compression are going to happen at the same time. I also am more concerned with the full compression on the trailing side of the tire (behind the spindle at 2 o'clock on the wheel opening) since the car should be leaning towards the rear of the tire when the front is turned in (turn right car rolls left).

So I am looking for full lock at ride height and full compression at say 20 deg of turn angle clearing the 2 o'clock position.

Maybe EVOD can machine this into some customs center caps for me.

LOL. Actually we are on the same page. Hopefully we're right and the fenders don't get ripped off

Wouldn't a set of oars and a couple slaves be more appropriate?

As soon as you take the car off the trailer some of these parts will really come in handy. I'm going to get my car fix in the badmotorfinger thread.
