I have mine set at the higher side of the factory spec i think it is around 7.5 degrees where do you have yours set and if out of factory tolorence whi
 
first of all you need to understand caster. caster is the rearward tilt of the steering axis. the more positive you go in caster, the more the car will tend to want to go straight and the more camber is added while turning. also in theory by adding more caster you are lifting one side of the vehicle when turning increasing steering effort.
if you wanna learn more [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle"]Caster angle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Caster_angle.svg" class="image"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Caster_angle.svg/250px-Caster_angle.svg.png"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/thumb/f/f8/Caster_angle.svg/250px-Caster_angle.svg.png[/ame]
 
i have a decent understanding of alignment angles. i was watching a couple drift videos and noticed their steering wheel snaps back super fast and was thinking that they wer running alot of caster

didnt know you could get that much within the "FACTORY TOLERANCE"
 
I think mine is around 7.5 on one side and only could get 7 on the other. But it transitions a little faster or atleast i think it does.
 
factory spec is 6.75 degrees plus or minus .75 degrees wich means 7.5 would be within factory spec and i just looked at my alignment printout from the last alignment i did and i actually had it set at 6.7
