Suspension Change

Well, a bit of an update/one more question. The update is that I picked up a set of Nexen N9000's from Ryan (Owns the very attractive Red Fiero that rides on 19" six spoke rims), so I have fresh rubber, and have a date set to get my Gretchin aligned as well - Tuesday.

Before I head in though, I had touched on this before, and Colby had helped give me an answer, but be damned if I could find his post again: What is the maximum amount of caster one can run on a Fiero? In a perfect world, a straight 7 degrees would allow me to dial back half the camber on the front, while still providing enough dynamic camber in the corners to keep the fronts almost flat (Ever so slightly negative, about 0.03-0.05 degrees). Obviously, if running that much is beyond the stock suspension capabilities, I will have to dial in a touch more negative camber up front as well.

As a side note, if you read that and thought "What a fantastic idea for my daily driver, I need more caster", perish the thought. On a vehicle without power steering, caster makes the wheel harder and harder to turn, an effect that only gets amplified with speed.

Oh, I'm not worried about road feel or comfort (At all. Seriously.)

My sole concern is the mechanical limitation of how much caster can be forced before it's simply not possible to dial any more in. Hopefully it ain't 5, or I'll have to tweak in -0.5 more camber! It'd be excessive on wear...
