Moving directly up and down will affect your roll centre (mechanical stiffness for want of a simple explanation). I have not had a lot to do with adjustable strut tops but wonder how much camber you can acyually gain by using these over the standard strut tops. Does ant one know?

Castor about 4 - 5 deg with rethreaded stanza LCA. Couldn't achieve the above before the coil over setup went in but now all is well with correct ride height. No "5 minute" job though !! Cheers

Can i ask how the castor rods are modded to fit the datsun balljoint pattern? Are they adjustable from factory? My ke20 corolla stuff was like that with a small tack weld to stop them self adjusting.

Not IPRA legal tho, have to run elastometric bush in standard lower control arm(no rod ends) and caster rod has to be original item. A job well done, it would be perfect for a club sprint car.

They will be good for the next two years anyway before I have enough cash and experience to run IPRA.
