What civic or acura has the most caster adjustment possible or is there a caster kit you can buy?

 

i dont believe the caster is adjustable on any honda - correct me if im wrong anyone. It can be done using different kits

 

On some models you can increase caster by switching the control arms.

You could, however, thereby introduce enough extra stress on the axles that you end up breaking them.

Corey found this out the hard way on his VTEC Prelude one year. I think he went through three axles before he finally put the control arms back where they were supposed to be.

It's a good idea in theory to increase the caster, but usually there is so much else to do to the car and with the driver's training that it ends up way down the list of things to do. Other than Corey's Prelude, I'm not aware of anyone's having increased the caster on a Honda race car.

I await education to the contrary.

 

i just want to +caster because then you dont not have to have camber. for few reasons, one less tire wear on just driving like driving down road and when you corner the +caster well make you have LOTS of -camber. so for a just a race car do you think it would be a bad idea to try changing the caster?.....and do you know how much +caster Corey have on his car?.....

 

Going off your sig, you have a 92 Civic, which happens to have the same fromt suspension as my 00 GSR. With SPC replacement UCAs swapped left to right for more caster, and using the offset balljoints adjusted to max, I still ended up with only 4* of caster, and a rather high ride height to avoid bottoming (UCA hits the inner fender). I'm going to put the arms back on the correct way, accept the reduced caster, and see how much suspension travel I gain back.

Yeah, in theory it would be neat to get alot of caster, and I've tried. However, unless you want to fab up a custom UCA or LCA (or both), you really aren't going to get alot of caster on these cars.

Whiteline makes a caster kit as well, which consists of shims and bolts for the LCAs. Seems like moving the LCA further forward might be a better way to get caster, but the only person I've ever heard of using one, broke one of the supplied bolts on a road course.
