Additional caster
 
Hello everyone

Anyone have experience with adding additional caster through front control arms that offer that adjustment (SPL's or Eibach)?

Any feedback would be appreciated. I'm interested to know if it improved handling (especially on the track!) and if it actually had a negative effect (too numb, etc).

Thanks!

eibach/spc's uca's arent caster adjustable
spl's (which has been caster adjustable in previous G/Zs) arent out yet

just a fyi

Hm...Really?

Eibach:
Eibach Camber/ Caster Front Control Arms 370Z, G35, G37

This appears to have caster adjustment. Am I missing something?

SPCs/eibach are adjustable. I personally haven't had to mess with my caster. Left it in the center position.

No worries, thanks for responding anyway!

In past cars I've experienced significant handling improvements with extra caster (Subaru WRX's really benefit). But I also know that after a certain point caster hurts handling.

If anyone has any feedback on the difference the extra degree made, it'd be great to hear it before I invest in these :)

My very simple understanding is that positive caster generates negative camber on the outside wheel during turns. But as with all things, too much may not be good.
