Sounds good Kommando98

You'll need to post your full setup here please.

I've recently swapped to the 5 deg caster blocks and prefer them.
Rather than running the stock 20 deg kickup + 10 deg blocks, I've increased the kick angle to 25 but reduced the caster to 5 degrees.
The difference is that there is less weight shift forward going into the turns so it feels more balanced.
For me, the corner exit is smoother although entry felt a little sharp for the first few turns but it wasn't worrying - just you could feel it was carving a slightly earlier turn and felt more positive.

Would definitely recommend playing with the caster angles and kick angle shims as these have a noticeable effect on corner entry and exit.
