Kirk, have you posted any more pics of this roadster? I'd love to see them.
Sorry for the late reply, but my car ran 6 degrees caster on a parallel leaf front end.
I experienced the same thing with my car, straight as an arrow under acceleration, but death wobble if you get out of it abruptly. I think the...
