    Holy Caster Batman!!!

    I have 14 degrees of caster according to the alignment place I went to today. My setup is pretty standard, 96+ M3 CAs and spindles and struts, offset M3 CABs. Anybody have any ideas on how I ended up with the opposite problem that everyone else is having with their 5lug swap?

    My wheels are centered, and it didn't seem horrible to drive. I'm beginning to think they just measured wrong, which in itself is a little scary.

        Best I've got right now. This was prior to lowering the rear.

        I believe stock is supposed to be between 8~9 degrees.

          Your wheel sits too far back, just like mine. Not sure how this is "opposite".

              The question was mainly related to the number that they gave me. I'll probably ignore it since both sides were approximately the same. If I end up with camber/caster plates at some point I'll take elsewhere to see what they say.

              Yea I saw that. I still have those three and then another set from a parts car along with a bent spare, so I'm up to 8 DSIs along with a set of DSIIs. I need to get rid of some wheels.

                your wheel is slightly turned, but you seem to suffer from exactly the same problem as others without right control arms.

                  I have 96+ knuckles, control arms, eyeball arms, and added caster from using redrilled shock towers and e36 m3 strut mounts, and I'm at around 10*...
