Roger, I want to run 9 degrees castor, I know its a lot but that's wat I think I need. What would you suggest I do with regard to moving the top arm?
Regards
Dave

this might/will sound silly, but wouldnt it be easier to just put shims under the front subframe rear mounts to tilt the whole subframe back a bit? rather than modify top arms etc?

Joeybaby, You can be right if you want to be but I won't be tilting my subframe.

9 does seem a lot. I run 3.5 with an LSD and it works fine for me.

Is 9 deg a straight line thing? because I'm not convinced it going to help cornering. Well that's my experience.

what i was thinking is that if your at 6 or 7 and want that extra bit without having to modify the top arms, what harm would tilting the subframe back a few degree have?

cross member clearance?
or would it fuck up the whole geometry?

i know miglias run ultra thin lower tower mounts to drop the body slightly for a lower cog...not really entirely related, but shows you can move/reposition the subframe to an extent (albeit it up and down in their case)...?

Will, It's all down to personal preference, if your settings are good for you that's great. No it's not a straight line thing.
Joeybaby It's possible to run 9 degrees without having to tilt the subframe it's just that I was interested in Rogers mod to see if there was a "better way"
