What's the latest on these? C'mon, someone step up and get this going again. I need to get my suspension completed before snow starts to fall.

So, looks like you set approximate desired caster (amount to add to stock) with the outboard slider & bolts before installation. Hopefully there's enough clearance to reach the inner bolts with a ball-end wrench to adjust camber on the car, without cutting the towers. Though I've cut my towers before, no big deal.

The answer for caster: all of it.
Camber:-2.0.
That's the starting point. According to Jan, you can back off camber a bit with the added caster. Less camber=better straight line acceleration and braking, the caster allows you to run less camber but keep the grip in the turns.
Jan does some stuff with toe too, but I'm starting at 0 toe up front most likely, and a little in the rear.-

I'm also aiming for max caster, -2 camber. I like a little toe out in the front (like 1/8" total), and a little toe in, in the rear (like, 1/16" total). Or something like that.-

Please put me on the group list Colin. It's time to take the plunge and these seem more than logical.

Is there any modification needed to the strut tower opening to gain full adjustment like is needed with the Vorschlags?
-
ColinGreene Well-Known MemberMotoring Alliance Sponsor
no unless you are seeking extreme alignment specs.
Remember with adding caster you actually need less camber, so 2.0 degrees up front is very very attainable via the stock openings. -

Right i am as well but without completing the group buy to get this moving its not going to happen. Thats the problem we are facing right now.
