Although the answer to this question depends on many factors in- cluding driver preference the following should help. 19”- (R.S. Holes on frame mount) Short track -tight corners Stop & Go corners 21” - (Center holes on frame mount) Standard position - average track Swooping corners 23” - (L.S. Holes on frame mount) Very rough track - Very heavy track Extreme situations only It is very common for racers to carry 2 different length panhard bars (19” & 21”) in order to tune for different tracks / conditions and also to have a spare. We have just recently completed testing of a new spindle. It utilizes ackerman adjustable steering arms. As we gather new information and make updates these spindles can be easily tuned to the new specifications. We tell you exactly where to put the arms to eliminate any guess work. The current specs enhance ”scotch “ on counter steer without compromising overall “feel”. The numbers are 40397A left side and 40398A right side. Cost is $ 189.95 each ADJUSTABLE SPINDLES One of the ongoing challenges in dirt racing is sticking the Right Rear tire (Commonly called “Scotch”) without overly tightening the car. In an effort to improve this situation we are pleased to announce the release of our Rear Under-Slung kit. This kit is specially designed to reduce right rear chassis flex in order to improve side bite. 99% of the kit is bolted on and requires only about 5 minutes of welding, all hardware is included.
