Hello everyone,

I have a question about Cambers tops as my title suggests.

When I went to Craig's the other day he had to types of the cusco camber tops, normal and low castor I think it was. The difference was the mounting bolt positions.

I was wondering if anyone knew what the differnece was?

Cheers,
Benjamin =)

difference is the mounting points?

change in castor?? just putting it out there :)

they are a non adjustable change to castor, castor being the layback of your strut.

i think it has something to do with the non-powersteering and powersteering versions of ae86's?

i assume from factory they give power steering models more postive castor, since the extra effort wont be noticeable with the power steering, but it will feel a bit more "solid" on the road, the steering wont be as "light" at speeds. hard to explain...you get the idea.

to the original poster: once you understand what castor is, then the different camber tops will make sense, they essentially change the position of the top of your strut.

Cheers guys,

I just thought it was a little strange that they had two types =).

Once again Thanks.

Can you check for the S13 camber tops, just wanting to know if they are still available
