    I don't think there's a such a thing... apart from the extra strain on the power steering system more positive caster the better.

    first of all there is no such as too much pos castor you always want more

    vs hasent got adjustable castor youi can losen the subframe that is about it

    to oversteer





    front camber more neg
    front castor more pos
    raise front rollcenter
    softer front springs
    front sway bar smaller(in this case i would leave stock same as springs)
    drop tyre psi
    rear camber more pos
    rear toe favor toe in
    springs harder
    sway bar upgrade i stage
    rear tyres decrase psi

    this is just a guide you may only want to change swaybars and psi

    rember this is a guide to more oversteer

    if he wants oversteer i can tell him if he wants a car that drives nice and is 100% safe i can tell him how to do that i will try my hardest to get info for the purpus asked

    not tell you dont do that dont do this

    and yes there is no way i would set my car up like that but it is what he asked for

    Ah yeah you can. It's called adjustable radius rods. Noltec used to make them, but Whiteline now has the design/patent for them. $300 for a set, including 2 sets of inner control arm bushes. Depending on how much caster you want to which bush you'll need. If you are chasing every last bit then adjustable strut tops will also be good to have.
