When you use the duals they are meant to be used with caster slugs. Set the caster slugs to XX degrees of caster then use the shims to set camber.

I am getting the new Ridetech UCA's too with the slugs. Anybody have any experience to how much caster change you get with the 1/4" and 1/8" slugs compared to the centered slugs? Rough estimate is fine as I know every car is different.

p.s.- I will have the complete Tru Turn system with RT UCA's & LCA's. Stock sub frame.

Thats good then. When you get it aligned professionally you should ask if they can use the slugs to adjust your caster as much as possible. That way you will hopefully have an even thickness of shims to adjust the camber.

What spec's are you targeting?
