Ryan Kado's backwards entries are just for fun, and just because he can, he would never do that in competition where he would be judged for loosing speed.

the lip on the rack spacer is to retain a boot with a ziptie
you would not want a boot made for cars, you need one for off road trucks, they come in black blue and red and are super cheap so there is not much reason for us to produce them... the black one matches everything.

faster steering at the knuckle requires less input to the wheel and when it corrects it spins back to straight less violently than stock.
we like to run less caster then stock, it requires a bit more direction from the driver instead of letting the car drift itself which is way more fun and controllable.
you never want to run too much caster, it exaggerates over centering at a low steering angle.

A lot of guys don't run much camber to have TONS of camber out of the leading wheel at full lock, this is beneficial to a certain extent, because it will "lift" up that corner of the car, putting more weight on the opposite end, resulting in more rear bite.
camber is the old school method, now its all about having the right caster by having a caster top plate
since the caster just multiplies the camber like crazy at double OEM steering angle
