And as a point of general reference, lots of caster is not necessarily lots of mechanical trail. It is on a torsion bar 911. But by moving the spindle forward of the steering axis, it is (at least theoretically) possible to have lots of caster without having lots of mechanical trail and associated heavy steering.

Good point about the caster and trail relationship being dependent on the suspension geometry.

How are you calling your rake angle? Is nose down negative? As I see it, on a 911, the negative rake that many people like is subtracting from caster.
