[DC2] Castor kit recommendations

[T-onedc2]

Hey as the title says,
I have been considering getting a Skunk2 front castor kit for some time but am unsure of the quality, although I've never heard anything bad about these. Are there any other reputable brands worth considering as I'm not willing to skimp on suspension parts.
Thanks

Camber, Castor, Toe:

Castor is angle of wheel pivoting around an axis when you turn.
Camber is angle of wheel adusted on our DC's by the upper control arm.

I have Skunk2's on my DC2R front and rear.

As far as I am aware, Skunk2 only have a 'Camber' kit not a castor kit. Quality is excellent.

Castor can also be adjusted by the lower control arm. Noltec make a kit for EG/DC hondas. Its a noltec bush with an eccentric center pin.
Castor can also be added by swapping the left and right upper control arms. I have both of these done. about 3.5 degrees castor on my EG

Yep, correct! Because your effectively tilting back the axis more

Is this an advisable method? i.e. are there any undesirable effects by doing it this way?

[DLO01]

^^^ It is fine. You just swap them over, they are fixed down exactly the same way. A few people have done this. No problems.

I had a look under there today, in the pic below I have circled the area in question. The pin and nut were easily removable but it is difficult to separate, is there a trick to doing this without damaging the bush?

[DLO01]

Sometimes its difficult to remove because its a tappered fitting.

Keep the nut on the end of the thread because you don't want to damage the thread.

Hit it or tap it with a brass hammer. Mine popped out like this.

It's all back together now, but will try that again soon, thanks for that!
