As per title, anyone know what the standard zs castor angle is? And what the rover/Honda figure is?

For those that don't know, mg top arms are basically the same as the rover400 ones except they are swapped left to right to increase castor. I just want to find the figures

I thought it was with the 45 and the ZS, with the arm flip over on the same side.

I've always wondered what difference a castor increase would make.
Though I haven't seen any (good) aftermarket parts to alter it.
You can get offset lower arm bushes but didn't look like a very good solution to me.

I've got eibach castor top ball joint adjusters on my top arms for my race car, but want some other ones for my other zs, there are some good parts available for the Hondas but I wanted to know figures of what is standard for the zs and work from there. In reply to talkingcars the rover 400 and 45 both that basically the same top arms, maybe better quality in the 45, but the same castor. More positive castor can help with dynamic camber
