    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (egg_83 @ Mar 24 2008, 08:46 PM) </div>you knkw youl have to mod your front bar right? the tyres will mod it for you eventually.

    if the car is an AE86 and you are using standard strut tops, replace them with KE70 ones, that will give you quite a bit more caster.

    Take your standard caster arms to any general engineering/machining shop and say you want an extra inch of thread put on them. Shouldnt cost you much.

    if thats the case, either upgrade to some rose-jointed castor rods, or take yours out and get a machinist to cut more thread on them.....

    only downside to having more thread cut into them is that you will need to get it wheel aligned to get the castor the same.....

    alternatively, grab yourself a pair of rosejointed control arms, this will give you more castor also, due to the fact that your control arm wont be pulling back on the castor rod bushes
