jrrc: thanks for your suggestion, i may give it a try as well
Reactive castor means that as the suspension compresses, the castor changes. With 0 deg blocks it does not change, with 5 or 10 deg it does.
With reactive castor the car will turn in progressively sharper through the turn. It's faster but harder to drive.
