What's enough caster? is 5 enough? That's what I'm running.
Darrin @ WestEnd always recommends more caster on these cars as well, which is who most of us use for alignments anyways I imagine.

I'll start experimenting with caster once I get my camber dialed in. I understand what it is in concept, but I don't know how it affects handling or feel. I do know that it is "dynamic camber" to a degree, but its so rare to have any large steering input on the track that I'm not sure how much it helps.

I'm still playing around so who knows, I might eventually end up at the max caster theory but at this point I like my 5 degrees.

I'm fairly positive you don't have enough caster to achieve that kind of camber. Get some camber bolts so your steering isn't so dull.
And if you have more than 6.5+ degrees of caster in the front, I am amazed. How did you do at WSIR? lap times?

I ran a 1:37.7. It was my first time there and I feel I could definitely improve on that my next time there.

There are people on both sides of the camp when it comes to caster amount
but at any rate, just FYI... this car does not used aftermarket camber bolts to achieve more camber, instead, it uses aftermarket ball joints.
