With the long links they are longer than the wishbone, so camber gain is...opposite way of every other TC. Can't imagine what that would be like. Also no stabiliser bars.

Got a feeling I've bitten off more than I can chew. Could easily get lost in the set up, its like a different language. Took me a long, long time to find my basic set up which works for me.

Will start with Steen basic carpet set up on Tuesday, I have no idea what to expect
I tried Steens IIC set up with both the long and short links The longer links made the car really stable on carpet - will add this to my notes to try outdoors. The stock ackerman positions - outside link made the car wash out initial to mid. The inside link provided more initial of the two.
