Hi there,
I have some questions about some front arm angles that hopefully some of you guys on this site can give me some of your opinions. My question is how does front arm angles effect the chassis handling? Had somone that lowerd their front rack on there 600 then when they went out to race the car said the car wouldnt turn into the entry like it used to. So he put some turns in the front to pick the car up and got the angles back to where they were before the lowered rack and said it changed the car completey on entry. Does arm angles effect this? Dont know how its such a big deal because I walk through the pits and sprint cars LF arm are just about level or even going up hill to the axle.
Any info would be great

Thanks

Chris
