DOES THE HDK SUSPENSION K-MEMBER HANDLE BETTER THAN A T-BAR SUSPENSION?

I would take it your specification of 1.5° camber would be negative.
A friend decided to road race his Duster after a tiff with the drag racing bunch. Upgrsded the front brakes to factory discs and a few other things like an AC water pump. I suggested increasing the caster and starting with 1° negative camber. He could out accelerate a race prepared Sunbeam Tiger on the straight but got passed at the corner. Most corners were right hand so the left front tire pretty much melted the outside two ribs. I tried to get him to pull about 1/4" of shims out of the upper adjustment, but he said his alignment guy knew what he was doing. Obviously not. Pull the shims out and reset toein and good to go, but no dice. Cost him on tires through that summer as the left front had to be replaced after every race weekend.
At the end of the summer he refreshed the engine with rings, bearings and timing chain. Sold it to a kid whose father was a hotshot lawyer. Kid blew the engine within a week. He told the kid the engine had been refreshed but did not put on the bill of sale "no warranties expressed or implied". Had to give the kid back the full purchase price and then find another 340 engine. Kid had missed a shift big time and scattered parts all over the road.
His duster had shims for the upper control arm?
