FXGT front suspension

Postby Maxwedge » Wed Aug 09, 2006 9:18 am

I noticed that the top mount for the front struts on AE82 FXGT's can be put in 180 which looks as though the struts would tilt back more, effectively more castor, why was this done by the factory?

the top hats for these can be put in backwards. which moves the top of the strut back to increase castor
