but it's fine; my friend's a mechanic and we remove the springs on our own at the same time as we add my winter tires.
your math is flawed. in order for that to be true you would need the same size tire on the 15. ie a 40 series on each wheel. the difference in radius in my 18's and 15's is less than half an inch

this is high off the ground?

are you sure it's axle bind and not bump steer? my suggestion is to first order steering rack spacers from OTTP or TTR and see if they help

as long as you're manual it's easy as pie, there's 2 bolts that hold the rack in. undo 1 bolt at a time, put the spacer in, re-tighten the bolt down. it took me a whole like 5 minutes
