    Wouldnt castor be affected by the control arm and the castor arm? not that actual strut?
    Just put my ae86 struts into my ae71, feels ok, but i havent had a chance to properally test it out.

    probably be looking at around $200 for struts inc discs, calipers and stock/basic shocks

    good luck mate

    apparently you can use ke70 tops with sprinter struts to get good castor so i am guessing that would push the bottom of the strut forwards.

    no the bottom stays in the same place. the top of the strut is pulled back, which in turn alters the strut angle, which gives you more castor
