Nose down only looks better, but drives worse. Again, just mho.

So then wouldn't the nose down and the caster shims be close to the same as stock?

Perhaps we need to develop some better caster shims? So we can rake and have good handling. Though only a good solution for beamed bugs.

I wouldn't know how to increase caster with a super
