For all those with CC Plates what setting do you have your caster at? From my research I know caster must be positive and the more positive the caster the heavier the steering. So what degree is your caster set to?
 
My home alignemnt machine (by eye and feel) says a lot. I put as much as I could in both then using the hood stops as a guide made that measurement the same on both sides. I basically read the more the merrier so I maxed it out and made it equal.

Any noticeable tire wear?
 
My tires arewearing pretty evenly and I have probably 2-3' of negative camber. It is pretty noticable when looking at the car. But I drive aggressively too and I am not looking to get more than 15k miles out of any tire...

Caster doesnt really affect tire wear, however, camber and toe do. I have 6 degrees of positive caster in mine along with -1.5 degrees of camber. It is toed "in" 1/16 of an inch, which is basically a zero toe when the car is moving.


You have 6* of positive caster is that pulled completely to end of the caster adjustment. Also, is your steering tight as a result of the 6* positive caster.

How far back is your caster adjustment?

The struts are pushed towards the rear as far as they will go. I didnt notice much difference in the steering besides the fact that is seems to turn in quicker now.
