sorry i am not sure of what castor setting i am running at the moment. Jax didnt give me a print out of the alignment settings.
Whiteline quote +2 degrees castor whit the rods.
I'd say pedders fitted all the shims when they fitted them as i didnt get any shims given back to me.
The turn in is a bit harder but not really noticable at speed mainly car park speeds.
steering response is great at higher speeds through sweeping corners.
Also the K-mac strut tops were already fitted to my car when i bought it but they are at least 4 years old or more.
Hope this helps
cheers guys, parts are going in monday and i think ill get the rods put in minus a couple of shims, hopefully i can get exact alignments specs and ill let you know how the car feels, i do 700 ks a weeks at the moment mainly highway so i should get a good feel of it quickly
i got it done
rods were put on with no shims so it was at least a fixed 1.5 degree increase. the wheels have moved forward at least an inch, ill get some before after photos up or to OVL087. only minimal scrubbing on front bar, nothing that cant be fixed with a litttle alignment of bar or cutting of it.
couldnt get an reading on how much castor because my car was too low for the place that did the alignment. it would have to be around 5 degress positive i assume
car is beautiful to drive now, not at all oversteery or twitchy, have setup the rear shocks to be slightly softer than the front

Cheers
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
definately worth the money, i also have kmac adjustable strut tops so they make aligning everything possible
car is more sure footed, holds a line better through corners or on a straight road
