Why is this Todd? Does this cause any driving problems in general?

Thanks.

It has the turning radius similar to a full size truck. It's tricky on tight autocrosses.(which I hate anyway) It's due to the increased front tire width.

Any tire, it's the rack and steering arm.

Call up Blake at Speedtech about the Chicane coil over kit. That's another option for you. You still have to cut and weld on your subframe with either kit.

I did the Speedtech Chicayne kit, just because everything was already in the car. The other nice thing is I dont have to pop my lower ball joints to make ride height adjustments.

Not sure if you have ATS spindles or not but the DSE stage 3 kit has a built in Guldstrand mod. This "might" give you a little to much negative camber.

I think the OP has already pulled the trigger on a DSE kit: http://www.pro-touring.com/showthrea...-arm-clearance

Yeah.. I just went with the speed kit 1 which are the upper and lower arms & sway bar.. I'm gonna buy the QA1 bolt in coil over shocks. I didn't want to start cutting and welding...

Default Ats

Does anyone have recommendations on whether or not to spend to bucks on the ATS tall spindles added to the DSE setup?

Todd, your talking about their entire aftermarket rack? Any idea if this is the same for the other subs like AM and Speedtech?
