[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 11544418, member: 6247"] The issue with the Ford geometry is when you get to be a quite accomplished driver or racer and you push your car very hard through the corners on slicks or even r-compound tires you will wear the outer edges of your left rear tire prematurely because of a slight camber gain. The knuckle actually looses camber but because of the side load of the tire it's not nearly sufficient to compensate for the load. The KB arms solved that problem for me. I put a lot of work and time into the KB control arms to get them to work properly but I still don't think the arms are worth the price they command. You can force the top of the rear tire inward during an alignment to gain a bit of extra rear camber which will help somewhat. Drag racers only use the steering wheel to turn the car around at the end of the 1,320'. I used to do a bit of drag racing back in the day and it was fun for a while. But 12 second doses of adrenalin aren't nearly as exciting as 30 minute or 45 minute doses that you get on a road course using all of the vehicle's controls. [/QUOTE]
