You can swap the top mounts on your car assuming you have adjustable ones from left to right and vice versa to gain around +1 degree of caster.

We also sell SuperPro lower control arm bushes which increase the caster by +1 also.

The bushes come in at £107.50.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us,

Iv got camber adjustable top mounts yes, but they don't do the caster, I'm looking for some that do both, would rather buy some as can't really be bothered to make some, caster bush won't be much good for what i need. Ideally the strut wants to go back about 40mm to gain the correct caster angle I need, any other idears???

Da Vinci racing make some top mounts which give increased caster. They're not adjustable but are a great bit of kit. I'm running just under 7 degrees of caster with them

Sounds ideal mate, did you notice much diffence in feel, as it stands at the moment, I find the car feels very numb and not very connected. You almost have no feel or feed back from the steering.

The turn in is far more responsive with the extra caster and I'd say the feel is improved too.

you wont get rid of that feeling on ep3 with increase in caster and even changing rack to hydraulic, will improve feel etc but wont get rid of numb feel ep3 has

I bought them from a guy on one of the US forums, but you're correct in saying that it's only DVR that sell them.

The plates are only made in small batches, so once the batch is sold it may be the case that you'd have to wait a long time for the next batch (if there was to be one).
