Caster

[driftenthusiast]

Im just wondering what everyone is running for caster for drifting. Ive left mine close to stock. I was thinking that less would be better, because it would turn in well. I see alot of people are running more than stock, is this becuase the wheel snaps back because it wants to go straight?

I run stock. I like how it gives me more clearance in the wheel well and less positive camber when countersteering.

i run a hair over stock.

Yes, it helps the wheel return...it also improves steering response...

im running max to stock spec...i like the high speed stability and increasing caster gives you a tad more neg camber when turned...turn in sucks, but that has yet to be determined if its due to caster (rest of align is super conservative)...and i dont run crazy wheel sizes or aero so i dont really have to worry about bumper clearance...but its close and looks good with the wheel pushed all the way forward...

If its a S13 remember stock is 7 not 0 hahaa

If your turn-in sucks, try a bit of toe-in...

Don't you mean toe-out, for turn-in response?

Err... other way around.


Toe out = Instant ackerman = better turn in.

Toe in is for stability.
