Trikes should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
'The Plot Thickens'. It would appear that with the DC5 Honda Integra Type R (runs Struts) I race that when lowered the car the Rack goes down (obviously) but this leaves the Steering Arm on the Struts rather high up and forward. The Arms end up at an odd angle. So the fix is to buy or build a 35mm thing called a Rack Raiser that bolts to the Rack Slider. This places the Inner Point on the Steering Arms back where the manufacturer intended. Oh and I had to change Arms from the Rack to the Strut with Hard Race Shorter Steering Arms. Took a lot of finding out but I got there. And because I lowered the car (front and rear substantially (70mm front / 60mm rear) I also had to change to a Lowering Roll Centre Ball Joint (never heard of these before). Type R was looking better (far far less) on the Wheel Alignment Machine as far as Toe gain simulating under brakes. Anyway will be on track soon will let you know how it goes.
