i've done a search and didn't find what I was looking for
I have a set of rt side speedway arms on a monte and with the steering wheel at full lock the wheels look like they are almost going to fall over. The angle they fall to is scary. I am running a stock spindle, ride height is probably 2-3" lower than stock, anyone else having this problem? I am really afraid of over stressing other components, as the car already has a hard enough time running a spool on the street. Any solutions as the car may be going back to stock arms for this reason, thanks!

Sure you don't have them flipped over the wrong way? Either they're the wrong ones or they're backwards, since they should be the same dimensions as stock.

the shorter part of the arm is to the rear, also the car has some serious negative camber and it is shimmed as positive as possible

They're on the wrong side or upside down. The short side goes to the front.

x2. Shouldn't need more than 1/2" or so of shims once they're on right.
