Thought I would create a thread dedicated to tuning the M18s suspension.
Ideas I have
1) Adjustable rear toe as soon as I can get 4 of the X-Ray rod ends I plan on making an adjustable rear toe system and maybe reduce this to 3 dregrees when runing my 300 motor and possibly all the way to 1 when runing the stock motor. If I reduce the rear toe I should be able to take corners with less steering throw. I find that the only time I get over steer is when I jerk the wheel to fast and I either get a traction roll or spin out.
2) Antisquat, I think if I use a shim under the lower rear suspension mount that I can achieve some antisquat. Im not entirely sure antisquat will be helpful or not but on 1/10th sedans adding antisquat will give you slightly less rear traction entering the corner but will give you a little more rear end straight ahead traction accelerating out of the turn.
