Set it up just like the sheet says but for even more steering use 0 degree caster blocks, try 1 or 2 degrees of toe out, and don't add any bump steer spacers. Also don't add any extra weight anywhere on the car because your running 17.5. Should have quite a bit of steering (probably too much, but you can take it out slowly till you like it) just as long as your running the right tires for the surface you run on.

For the caster (um721), how do you choose 25 or 30 deg? I bought the car used, so not for sure. Which option gives more steering?

The block that the front inner hinge pins go through can be reversed. Put in in one way and you've got 25* put it in the other and you've got 30*. Have you looked at a manual?

The orientation of the block depends on where you want steering. I'd start with the 25* orientation, and start changing caster inserts on the hubs to suit.

kit setup calls for 0 in to give a narrow track 4 in gives you a wide track

Kit comes with 0, 2 and 4 degree caster inserts. all of them can be put switched to a narrow or wider insert. Kit setup is narrow 0. Be careful cause you can actually put them in wrong and go -2 and -4.

New or not, you should at the very least look through the manual. It'll answer just about everything you've asked thus far.

Aside from the hub inserts it's about the same as any other recent K car. I just wish they'd come up with an easier way to change anti-squat. I hate sliding those spacers in there.

Lower caster generally makes initial steering more responsive. Where are you looking for steering? On power? Entering a turn? Middle? Exiting? Have you compared your setup to any others? What surface? What tires? What length rod-ends are you running on the shocks?

Cut out part of the hole so you can then just loosen the screws a little bit and then slide the piece in between the chassis and the rear block. Does that make sense?

I imagine its rolling more and putting more weight on the outside wheels providing more exit steering. Hmmm, might have to try that..
