Based on what I've just read here I'd stop thinking about D-spindles and start eating Cup of Noodles. I agree that the people involved in this thread are all telling me to just buy Ron's kit and it's like 3 against 1 so I'm probably wrong.

But the thing is, I was on the phone with Larry Jr. today for nearly an hour. I'll bet your guys' patience is wearing thin so I'm not going to go into detail with everything he told me on the phone (and a lot of the conversation didn't even have to do with D-spindles). He basically said though that with a 16" D-spindle and with my LCA's pointed down to the ground a tad (so that the outside LCA is level under full cornering) it will just about eliminate my understeer (without resorting to reducing the traction in the rear) and allow me to run soft enough spring rates for the bumpy stuff aswell as allow me to daily my ride. His reference was his GTV6 race car with 25.4mm t-bars and shankle rear springs. He said that he was very happy with his car's grip and was eventually able to chase race prepped GTV's in the AROSC races..all with koni yellows, fast road springs and D-spindles.

Your guys' school of thought seems sound, and Larry's seems sound as well. Why am I sticking with my theory? Basically, I don't want to throw away the 1.5K I have in suspension so far and I think I'm getting close to my end goal. Some would say, "with that 1.5K you could have just about bought an RSR kit anyways." This is true, but I've learned a TON since I started my project with a $500 verde. As long as I eventually find a happy point, I'm not going to regret trying to piece my stuff together.

I have to take off one LCA anyways to add more neg. camber, so I might as well. After installing D-spindles, if I don't get the results that I think I'm going to get I promise I'll sell some stuff and get an RSR kit (because I respect all of your opinions). I'll even update this thread with my thoughts for future reference. D-spindles aren't even super expensive, so it still seems like a logical route to travel. I mean after these spindles, there isn't much left anywas...I'm happy with my shocks, my front bar, rear bar, and the rates of my torsion bars.

And as far as the learning argument goes, I want to add that I have time and I'm not just looking to mess around with ride-height and changing spring rates. I want to try and apply what I learned in Carrol Smith's book on my Alfa. We'll see how it goes. Should be interesting for those involved in this discussion anyways.
