front camber adjustment on stock FC?
I am about to install a new set of KYB AGX shocks and Tanabe springs. so i will still be using the stock mounting blocks.
I am reading the FSM, and there is a way to slightly increase camber/caster. but i'm not entirely clear on the method of doing this, i want to be fully sure before doing this.
it says, and i assuming this is with everything installed, to rotate the strut so that the mounting block is in a different position.
now, since there are 4 bolts, i can put it into 4 different positions, or 3 different positions from stock.
it gives the following chart:
RIGHT
BA
C.
LEFT
AB
.C
this is how the stock position is. now, by rotating to either A,B,C you change the camber and/or caster:
A- 0 camber, 30' caster
B- 30' camber, 30' caster
C- 30' camber, 0 caster
Now, what i don't understand is when they say 30', is that more or less camber/caster?

30' = 30 "seconds"
60 seconds = 1 degree
So, 30' = half a degree
Oh, and that's inducing more camber or more negative camber, so technically it's -30 seconds.

ok, thanks for the info. it's in seconds, i see now.
so, changing it to position "B" will give me -30' camber? is that -30 caster also? i don't want to reduce my caster, i want to increase it...
