Adjustable strut tops
#1
Anyone used these/recommend any?
Was looking at MRT fast road spec ones.
Seems like a good way to go as I have snapped one off the strut top bolts off (front), don't ask should off torqued it up properly.
So thought I might aswell put on adjustable strut top units.
You can wind on positve castor which should be very helpfull.
This is what the anti-lift kit does anyway, may be able to get more than the anti lift kit? Any one any experience with this. Have heard of people putting on the maximum + castor but this was for hillclimbing not road, Dont want to induce rediculous tyre wear as I drive mine every day. Any help much appreciated

I dont see how increasing castor would increase tyre wear?
When increasing positive castor, you can reduce the camber slightly and maintain good handling. This would actually REDUCE tyre wear.

I thought +ve castor gave a bit better handling at the expense of heavier steering. I didn't think it did anything to tyre wear at all. (assuming it's set up properly...)
