Re: Maxi life build
20 k isn't bad but I recon u could have done more with out the extra wear
Most places seem to set the caddy tracking to towing out about ten minutes but I have already found that this causes the inside edges to start to wear so I borrowed a set of optical tracking gauges from a customer of mine and set it to parallel. Now I find the wear is even and no tearing of the inside edge

Re: Maxi life build
Mine was set to parallel when I first fitted the spax... But I haven't had it checked for over a year

7 deg of castor sounds crazy. I only run 5.5 deg of castor on my mk2 rs2000 and it took a lot of work and special bits making to get it that high from the std 1/2 a deg

I haven't a clue about steering geometry so I wouldn't know if it's parallel or not. The guy who did it said it was OKtorque777 wrote:That's interesting... So is that now parallel

If you do get it checked on a Hunter machine be sure to post the results on here so I can compare.

Re: Maxi life build
Looks good Nic. I much prefer these to the new 2016 taillight. I'm actually suprised how many people have jumped on the 2016 taillight band wagon. Each to there own though.

Re: Maxi life build
I'm in two minds about these, but I thought that the facelift headlights match caddy 4 lights more. If I had a prefacelift id stick with these ones.
