What caster do you run?
After recently installing a whole new suspension package on the GT3, I've started thinking about caster a bit more than usual, mainly because I've had to use a 65mm ID spring, so that gives a bit less wheel clearance.
Obviously, when you deck in the upper front shock mounts more, you gain camber (without shimming), but lose a lot of caster, so I'm trying to balance wheel/spring clearance with shimming for camber/caster gain to get to my desired settings. My top mounts are rotated.
I know typical train of thought is to just get as much caster as possible for stability and camber gain on lock. Does anybody run towards the low end? Spec for 997 GT3 is 8 deg +/- .5 deg....
