RE: better steering

just read this old post.

 

How does the datsun 1600 with r31 struts and zero offset handle?

you have obviously driven one. Can you shed some light on how she feels? As compared to say one with 180b or 200b or whatever struts?

 

I am just curious on your opinion is all.

 

thanx mate

 

regards

Don't start me up again on using struts with zero scrub radius in a 1600 just because you get decent brakes and no bump steer as a bonus. I'd suggest you drive a 1600 (or try to) with R31 struts fitted before you believe they're the ducks guts (personal opinion only). Typically in my experience a good handling 1600 has scrub radius of around 2.5" or more!

so using a kit such as a datsport one which takes care of the suspension and steering geometry thus getting rid of bump steer probs.

using r31 struts which have a better scrub radius than the stock 1600 struts on stock suspension and steering and using a steering box brace along with say 6.5" or even 7" tyres with a suitable offset would be the best option for good steering response, handling and braking etc?

 

assuming a good wheel alignment?

 

cheers
