Here's the instructions mate

Don't run too much as your toe setting can be thrown out and camber is also reduced

Personally I removed my whiteline kit that came with the car, im not a fan of the design of it.

I'm running them - had them fitted at the same time as other mods. Whiteline claim a huge gain in castor is possible, but I found the result to be very moderate, like +1 - 1.5 deg castor max. Not the most effective way to add castor, but I haven't had issues to speak of.

A couple of things -

You need to press out and in the old bolt and replace it with a longer whiteline bOlt - not a DIY job !
Secondly , I had this kit in an old eg and did like the results , didn't last too long as the bolt on one side sheared ( due to typical whiteline under rated bolt tensile strength)

You can get a slight dynamic effect of increased caster by swapping the upper control arms L for R ( on eg, dc and Eks I believe.)

We have found we could gain allot more than you have said so we are unsure why it was different on your car we have done a few of these.

As Senna said above who I think is from Wholesale who also fit many of these you can actually gain to much and start to lose camber so to us that would mean more than what you described .....Contact us if you feel that is all you can get and maybe we can help you and gain more if needed support@whiteline.com.au
