No, they mess up the geometry.

as Tom says they do stuff to the geometry,

that said quite a few people use them and get good results.

if you have adjustable bottom arms and tie rods you can readjust most of the geometry, but there will still most likley be an issue with bump steer, if you take the time to mess around with the steering arms and get rid of the bumpsteer IMO they could be better than mini hubs for use ith wide wheels.

How do you find the Don's handling Tom?

Depends how it is setup, ideal track setup is a long long way away from how we set it for drag use.

When I have adjusted it for cornering purposes it is good, it could do with some more castor ideally but that will mean altering a few things so we haven't bothered as yet.
