Going smaller then 6mm split will result in even more front wheel drive and eventually in understeer, and fast front belt wear.
Going bigger then 7mm split will result in more rear wheel drive and eventually in oversteer.


by the way, how do we 'cure' off power understeer? running stock setup...anyone using stock setup understeering when off power?
As allready mentioned, change the caster angle by moving the front upper arm more forward.
Forward means more off power steering into a corner
Backward means more on power steering out of a corner
