Like Todd said unequal caster for road crown.

for whatever its worth I've run the standard 0.5* unequal caster in every alignment I've done in my car so far. I certainly wasn't a mad speed demon but I did see 100+ mph on several tracks including 120 range at Big Willow. I never noticed any pull or instability.

Thanks Todd. I still have a lot of confidence in the results of the TCI parts and running 5* vs 7* at my skill level and level of build effort probably isn't going to matter anyways lol!!

The TCI car has the prototype subframe and it's mounting points are a 0.25" further back than the production and I've never heard anyone giving them grief about how their wheels look on the car and it certainly performs awesome at the local good guys and RTTC events I see it at! I got a lot less concerned once I figured out the issue wasn't specific to one side of the car.

As long as I can run 5*+ of caster and a 275 front tire I'll be pretty happy.
