Position of Arrow On Strut Top location for referencing front end alignment
I think this should be Archived, This is a picture showing where the location of the arrow is on the strut tower tops. Also I have included a picture of how Stock location and what I think Kentetsu says is max camber. The arrow pointing would be when looking at the car top down and facing the front. If I did this wrong can someone correct this to have it archived. Thanks
Sam

Actually, the way I understand it, the arrows would point toward the rear/inside of the car for max camber/caster. If I'm reading your diagram correctly, you have this listed as the stock location...
I don't recall the exact location of mine originally, but they were definitely pointed toward the outside of the car. When I adjusted them to the inside, the difference in handling was quite noticeable...
Normally, this adjustment would be made to set the camber/caster to what a shop would consider "stock alignement". But when adjusted to provide max camber/caster, you can get an improvement in front end "bite" when entering corners. This is not exactly useful for daily drivers, and may even lead to excessive tire wear, but if you race then you'll want to check it out.
How much camber can you get with this strut top mod? When I was still using the stock top, the most i got was -1. -1 shouldn't wear out the tire that bad.
Linear Mode
