caster

can you adjust the caster on an STI or WRX?

i ask this cause my buddy is getting an 07 STI limited, and the caster is not as "aggressive" as the 04-06 STI's apparently... and he is curious if that is possible.


thanks brotha's and sista's

wait wait, dont you mean camber? caster is the direction whether the toe is pointing inward or outward. And i think you can only do little change to the camber on the stock struts.

0 cross caster is best and it is what it is set IIRC. You want to attack camber for less understeer. And yes, to my knowledge at least on the STi caster is adjustable with bushings..

You can only adjust caster by getting noltec/mrt camber/caster plates. You can also add some static caster by getting an ALK, but it does not allow any actual adjustment from side to side. In stock form, there is no caster adjustment to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks
