      Oversimplifying things:
      FWD cars have different requirements for scrub radius because the steering wheels are also the drive wheels and the wheel torque can cause torque steer. The intersect point of the SAI and the ground is sometimes on the other side of the centerline of the tire than it would be on a RWD car.

      Plot the scrub radius of the original wheels, then calculate a new SAI for the new wheels with the same scrub radius. Or you could just live with the change. People do it all the time.

      I was gonna type this out yesterday but got caught up with something else. I was also gonna ask if it was a real SHOgun or a clone.
      Well.... I dont have the origional wheels, so thats not going to work out.

      So me saying 8-9 Deg. can neather sound good or bad till you see the wheels on the car and figure out the scrub radius.

      Do you see anything wrong with going with his 8-9 Deg. if I'm off just a bit by changing the wheels? What does this effect, handling?

      Is there a sweet spot set of numbers I should shoot for?

      AS for the car... well... I bought it after being told it was the left over # 007 Shogun that was never finished, I recently talked to a guy that clames he had made an extra set of parts from all the molds prior to selling them... So its definatly not built by Special Editions in CA, but at the same time it all came from the same molds, I have the special subframe, and roll bars, interior pieces, stickers, and a lot of origional paperwork. Even a Serial number tag with 007 on it. So it's going to be as close as you can get to the real thing.... It took me about 1 year to find an all origional Festiva from 91 in CA with 30K origional miles on it.. So.. I'm trying my best to do everything to make this one sharp car... No rusty worn out old Festi here
