caster is extremely important, but you dont really need to be able to adjust it. Camber you do want to adjust tho.

**** the GC's unless they started to make them specifically for the FC - they are "generic" plates used on a VW Rabbit!

Don't mess with caster unless you know what you are doing - most people don't, so you don't need the caster adjustment.

Best set made by K2RD, which are discontinued.
GC design'd but made specifically for the FC.
Paul has been thinking about restarting production, but he's too damn busy nowdays.
