Is it just me or does anybody else notice the front wheel centerline as being too far back? Is it just cause the car is lowered? I have been through this car with a friend that works at a body shop and the car has NO signs of being in any accident and the carfax is clean too. So aside from getting a tubular k member is there any way to correct this? Here is a shot, I know its dirty but im sick so she has to suffer a little

My car's that way too. That's Ford quality one for ya. You should see how offset my rear axle is. My passenger wheel sticks out almost 3/4" more than the other side. Also, it doesn't matter if your car is dirty. It still looks awesome.

If you have CC plates, you maybe able to adjust the set back a little. Otherwise you're right, it will take an aftermarket K-Member to bring the wheels forward. But then they are really too far forward in appearance...lol. In any event, that set back is pretty normal.

dude my mustang had that like crazy, i didnt even notice it until i went to a mustang meet and saw it on another one. i felt self conscious about my car for the whole time up until it met its fate.

when i had Maximum Motorsports corner weight the car i asked the owner about it and he said it was normal. and that was with my panhard bar. as for the front being out, an aftermarket k-member like the MM one will make it better as is moves the wheels forward for a longer wheelbase.

uhh, met a tree in an ungraceful manner. i was stupid, basically lost traction at the apex of a corner and the car was uncontrollable. this was back in august. ive had the volvo ever since. im planning an all out sn95 track car, so stay tuned.
