Do spacers really improve handling? I thought they were for looks...

Increasing the front track theoretically reduces understeer.

Default Don't do it.
It changes the "King Pin Inclination Angle."

The best and cheapest way to dial out understeer is with tire pressure.

Make sure your front tire is at best pressure possible, and pump the rear up a bit past the sweet spot.

IMO of course.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rctek.com/handling/king_pin_inclination.html">read.</a></li></ul>
