ROConnor: haha i know what you mean, i kinda get it
but a 1200 specific explanation would be tops

Benny: only 0.5 deg neg? was the max neg camber or a setting you chose?

what would the castor be on an unmodified 1200 front end?

Agreed, I recently had my sedan re-aligned and managed to get +4.25 degrees castor without modifying the guards. Pull the lower end forward with teh use of the adjustable castor rods and the tops rearward with the S13 camber plates installed diagonally. . Ended up with neg 0.5 degrees camber at resting height. I also have the B-pro 30mm bump steer spacers to retain some angle in the LCA with my very short B110 struts.

Dont go too radical with pulling the LCA forward as this will put strain on the LCA pivot bushes [trying to rip them out of the engine crossmember.

Positive castor helps the eliminate the straight line wander at speed. 1200's can be a bit floaty at speed. Cornering is a different story.

i hear so many people mention how such a small mod gives great gains
but dont quite understand it totally..

ive got basically no room (without modyfing my front guards) to pull my
front wheels forward, does mounting the top of the strut further back in the tower
acheive the same result?
