Less front caster.


But i thought less caster will make the steering more responsive?
this should clear it up more

the AE front end has more reactive caster change with the 10deg block than the 0 or 5's do. 0deg blocks with 2 shims with 2 shims to the rear (4deg of caster) of the will make it more consistent. 10deg blocks with the same shimming has 4-6deg of caster, up to 2deg shift depending on front springs ran and suspension movement. the 5deg blocks will put you somewhere in between

i run my Odeg blocks with 4deg of caster

softer t-bar will help in the rear traction department and roll/weight transfer. it may add more traction which may make the car push a little more. i have been running a .70 Doug Powell t-bar on my car on asphalt with a stock motor which is in between what AE offers
