i was in adams car the other night when we were road testing the new gutted out cat...he has the stock 17" rims that came with the car...his car isn't lowered...he can make a u turn in 2 lanes (3 if you count the lane you are in

|O| | || |

basic graphic...the O is the car...he starts there and can make it into the lane 2 lanes over...it takes me at least 3 lanes and i can just barely make those...he was making u turns on 2 lane roads w/o hitting the curb...those would be 3 pt turns for me

did the eibachs actually make my turning radius worse? what gives? anyone have any ideas? i need to get a better turning radius...even parking the max is easier for adam...

The steering arm limiters are adjustable. Compare yours to his. Just make sure nothing rubs.

do you know how far i can adjust it without having any problems...can this hurt anything other than having the tire rub? i've been wanting a better turning radius for awhile...any chance you can explain how to adjust them? thanks

They're just bolts that screw into the steering knuckle and hit the lower control arm at full lock. If you make them shorter (loosen lock nut, screw in, lock nut) you get more stewering lock. You have to be careful - not only could tires or brakes rub, but at some point you could over-angle the cv joints.
