What's the point of caster though?

I know what it is. But is there a benefit to going +, -, or 0?

Other than its obvious benefit of keeping straight. I mean is there some sort of stancing purpose.

Not 100% sure if I've got this right but.. hear me out.

Who else notices that the rear wheels tend to get 'pushed' back when you lower the car, especially when slammed? My friend said that a rear caster kit will allow you to move the wheels forward/backwards a bit . Other than that I don't really know/understand what caster is lol.

I have noticed that, ever since I lowered my car. I searched for some ways to fix that, but as far as I looked, there wasn't any such PNP parts that correct caster on 6gen. So, this is indeed pretty cool find. I wonder if this is also compatible for V6.

You can't modify the caster on our accords. In fact you can't modify or ajust caster on most cars. Caster is about steering pivot, which will be set by upper & lower balljoint (or macpherson) angle.

Positive caster is what you will find on F1 cars. It helps the wheels get back in a straight line after a curve, but is super hard when going over a bump/rock.

Negative caster was used on SUVs because it makes obstacles easier to go over, but makes the steering hard to turn.

I don't understand the purpose of those "ajustable caster arms"

I dont worry much about caster. Toe? Yes. Camber? Yes. Im not a racer so caster doesnt really apply for every day driving. Correct me if im wrong tho.
