Suspension geom. mods
Can the indy suspension be modded to reduce roll and make it a bit more like the geometry of the new car?

That really depends on your interpretation of the word 'bad' but in our and others experience it isn't a problem at all and
definitely not something you notice. The only time it may be, is if you are taking part in competitive motorsport and need to get every last drop of
performance from your setup.
I've seen Indys going around circuits and putting in lap times not far off the leading guys in RGB, so they can't be that bad, although a
lot does come down to the driver.
On a recent trackday at Llandow, there wasn't much passing us and there were a few impressive similarly powered and more powerful marques there.
I wouldn't consider myself an experienced trackday driver either.

no not that bad really.
on the road you will never find or near the limit, even out on track the MK will wipe the floor with most cars.
Only when you come down to competition when every fraction of a second counts does the car show its failings against westfields and strikers. I am
trying to dial out the body roll induced positive camber but you can only adjust so much.
Thanks Chris for the info about MK engineering I will give him a call.
Are you still buyiing a 750mc racer for next season?

Rear suspension
In an effort to reduce the excessive oversteer on Jeffro's car, a check of the rear track showed 1 degree of toe out on both wheels, instead of
the more desirable 1 deg. toe in. As moding the mounts seemed drastic for the small change requeired, we are going with modding the wishbones so they
are adjustable, does this sound reasonable?
How exactly is the new car differant?
If it is a roll problem, has anyone tried an antiroll bar? Thanks Baz.

moving to, we are running about 1deg neg camber all round but have noticed some 7's running a lot more, is there any benefit in changing it
many thanks
