so I am trying to get my 818S set up with basic mesurments to start with before it goes to alignment and I am trying to get the castor close. does anyone have mesurments of there A-rms or reference points to get a rough castor angle?

thanks

To do my initial caster setup. With the wheels straight and the car sitting at ride height, I used a magnetic angle gauge on the side of the FFR front strut adapter.
Mine is set to 2.5 degrees.

I'm setting mine to 5°. The closer you get to zero, the more difficult it will be to hold in a straight line at speed. But mine will be primarily street driven.

Interesting, curious what everone else has there's set up for street. I would much rather have it track straight and drive nice. this is a road car for me too.
