@SoCal,

Watch that the change in Offset (a component of SR) does not affect the Scrub Radius of the Front Suspension. Too much change to the SR can make the steering real twitchy after turns (return-to-center is affected) or when going over even the slightest bump. There is no alignment cure for improper Scrub Radius. The resulting instability is often improperly attributed to Tire imbalance or such, but isn't and cannot be cured. Otherwise, they look great! Good Luck!...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
