It's a common rally set up, helps with turn in.

Another reason is that I find Pip Gardner's advice invaluable.

I've managed to get mine sorted at a place called Chemix in Stourbridge. Nice bunch of people over there and the guy who done the alignment was very helpful. This is what we ended up with. It drives quite nice! Turn in feels good. Parking up is a slight bit more difficult - but is nothing major as it doesn't happen all that often :lol: . Driving around town is fine
