If you have their "negative roll" tall-spindle setup, then you have steer arms that are too low, which results in ~200% increase in factory bumpsteer. They are also too long, which results in a slowed turning ratio, and wider turning radius... also negatively effects ackermann angle, but the actual performance benefit of ackermann has been debated for decades with no real solid conclusion (really just comes down to driver preference)

SC&C's tall balljoint or AFX spindle packages do the same thing to fix the camber curve (taller effective spindle height), but raise the steer arm by ~1/2" to reduce factory bumpsteer by 85%, and they're the proper length so steering ratio and radius are not effected.

As for making the parts work together... If I can do it, anyone can. (and I'd be happy to help choose a spring/shock/swaybar combo to fit the budget)
So there!

I won't be participating in any events because i don't really like HAN; if there was an anti tour I'd be on it just look for RED Camino.
I just got the car back from paint last week so everything is still new but I did get the bugs finally worked out of the 700r4.
Derek does know suspensions but as long as you're happy with yours that's what counts. We're all looking for different things and have different expectations, skills and pocket books.
