caster on 964

[spjuvern]

have anyone made more caster to a 964?

i have i 964 turbo and max caster are 4.15 deg
i thinking of doing my own topmounts so i can get 6-7 deg of caster


anyone have tried this on a 964? most cars like more caster
in my bmw it was so good on track with more caster

ride height, caster and camber and toe are all related and cannot be set independantly of each other.

the more caster the more stable a car is, it will also take more effort to turn it and there will be more camber change when the wheels are turned. These are good things to a point but bad when taken too far.


stock caster for a 964t is 4*25' +15' -30'

993 used 5* 20'+/-15'

use something in between, more = morestable, less = more agile

do the 993 have less turn it than 964?

on the 996 they have about 8deg and they have more turn in than my 964 but that is a hole diffrent suspension.
on my bmw E36 a have 10 deg caster and lot of turn in

have no one tried to add more caster to the 964?
i have search the forums and never heard about any one

I run a tad less caster and a lot more camber than stock on my 993. Ride height is at Cup full race and tires are MPSC 225/265 x18. From what the owners of 964 Cup cars(100% track setup) tell me The front is is "lively" compared to their cars.

Could be p/s vs non as well. And I need to play w/ toe as well, that's on the agenda for next year.
