I would say pick up some 25's and 30's. But get the GT2 castor blocks. They are more durable.

More castor = more stability on straights, more entry, less steering mid - off
Less castor = less stability on straights, less enty, more steering mid - off

for what it is worth, my 2 cents. i have tried the 30 degree caster blocks and really prefer the 25 degree for on and off the track. alot more control for me no matter what i did. i think the 30 degree causes to some degree over steer and getting loose barely on the throttle coming out of the corners. just saying! but at the inexpensive price i do reccomend trying them all. but do not know anyone runs the 20

I have considered the 30s. I run on a paved track right now mostly. Would I notice a difference in the 30s over the 25s I have now, considering I run on pavement?

My 25s do well, but I really could use some on-power turning ability. My rear tires are getting to the point of being slicks and my fronts are still at least half-treaded. I don't know how much that has to do with it. I have my toe set pretty acurately and they are wearing nicely, just not as fast as the rears.

I've been trying anythng I come accross that will stick the front and loosen up the rear.

25* are the stock ones if you are running a t4, b4, or sc10.

Sounds like the truck should be pretty dialed. I'd take out all that weight now, as well as return the preload back to stock.
