Default Steeroids front alignment settings

Hi All,

Quick question:

Those of you that are running a Speed Direct R&P, what did you have your front end set to. I have had the R&P on my car for over a year but unfortunately the vette has been off of the road most of that time. Driving for the first time in ages I noticed how sensitive the front end was. It seems if I try to correct the steering in the slightest manner it starts an exaggerated reaction - a little disconcerting initially. Though that realigning it might negate some of the response.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!


Ken

I was very lucky. During the install, the wheels didn't move, and we eased the tie rods into place without disturbing the alignment. And the steering wheel stayed centered. All of which was a minor miracle.

That sensitive steering can be caused by incorrect toe-in, among other possibilities...

Me again,

Please ignore the 'Poll' format (If you want). Some how it was attached unnoticed when I wrote the above question.

Thanks again,

Ken

Due to numerous changes front and rear, I had a four wheel alignment done after the Steeroids. Settings were halfway between VBs street and autocross settings with a little more castor dialed in. very nice.
