someone pointed out that my car has a very high Spindle Inclination Angle,
about 15 degrees. this apparently causes my negative camber to go positive
when i turn the steering wheel (plus it jacks up the front of the car), and
is likely the cause of the huge amount of understeer i get exiting corners
(recently i noticed it entering corners too). this is really depressing,
since i think my only choice is to remount the upper a-arm lower and make a
new bracket for the spindle to position the ball joint inside the wheel...
which also means i cant use my 15" wheels.
what is an acceptable amount of SIA for an autocross car?? any other ways
to compensate for it?? thanks,
