is that cut too much? or jst enough?

EDIT: stock castor rods will be maxed out...current hieght i think is 210mm? might go 200mm pending how my new wheels sit

I don't mind :P

Do what Dave said man. My current bumper is spaced forwards with washers. Don't wreck your bumper, that one^ was cut when i got it so I had no choice.

do you even know why your maxing your castor, or are you just doing it because you read it on the intawebz?

run as much as you can without it scrubing on the bar, if after driving it you want more then by all means wind it up more. spacing the bar forwards seems to be the thing to do.

yeah...i did this...was told jsut feels better...i ended winding mine a bit further back...max castor didnt fit my driving style..80-90% was perfect

as to scrubbing on the bar...moving it forward is best and if still need to be, then chainsaw that shit and cable tie spec is street credit :))

yeh true. not to mention max castor + max camber = fail understeer.

theres no option but to chop on *E7*, and i think the guards might be closer too...

not trying to Hijack

with the caster+camber= under steer fail, are you meaning it reduces under steer or increases it

[hachi_dk]

hes saying too much of both causes understeer.
theres a balance to achieve better handling and maxxing everything is not the way

^^^ what he said.

clearly ".ady" thinks im a bit of a knob, not trying to be. was a bit rude what i said, but meant as a quetion of intent rather then accusation of misinformation.
