You can't really get close to too much caster on a 4th gen, let alone one that is lowered. It's rate anyone can get to +5 degrees.... And you shouldn't need much more negative camber than you have (I can only get -1.8 and get good tire wear when racing). Definitely don't need more than -2 for track use IMO.

I have a run of bars coming in about 3 weeks. A number of them are already spoken for. I'd suggest getting an order in sooner than later (no charge applied until the bars are actually ready to ship, the order just tells me you want them and to save them).
