Front strut top rotation / clarification

Installed a new set of AGX’s in the front of my FC over the weekend and I’m trying to get some clarification on the strut top and it’s built in adjustments for camber / caster. It’s my understanding the “dot” is located forward and inward on OEM setting ? But not sure if that’s correct. Let me know if anyone has adjusted this and the feeling/feedback the car has given (if any)

I am wanting to try setting A which is listed in the FSM as 0 camber / 30 caster

Thanks !

You are correct. With the dot as shown on R-7, both the caster and camber are 0 degrees. I would normally get a printout of the wheel alignment results with the dot in the neutral position and then change as necessary based on the alignment results. If I recall, I had to rotate my right side mounting block so that the dot was at position "C" to bring it closer to spec. Yeah, I seemed to improve the handling a little bit.

i find if you look at the thing, the offset (eccentricity) is pretty obvious
