Hi all,
Earlier this year i fitted new Eibach Springs, B8 dampers, top mounts and some of rich's wishbone bushes. Anyway today i went along to STS to get the geometry checked and whilst the tracking was slightly out, i seem to have only 2.47 degrees of castor on both sides as apposed ~3.4 their figures suggest it should have. I don't really know how this will affect the handling of the car, but the guy at the garage made a big deal about it and told me i should try and sort it. Anyone know how this will affect the cars handling and how i could correct it? Thanks

do you have the correct top mounts?
The mounts for the non-PAS models are different IIRC, they could be the culprit

Yeah, I reckon that'll be the top mounts.

There is a notch on the raised part of the mount where the damper rod comes through - this points forwards on the PAS mounts and rearwards on the non-PAS mounts.

Had considered this as i thought when i bought them from pug they were too cheap. Just been out to check tho and the riased part is definately pointing forward, so these are correct i assume?
