What is the difference between running 20' and 25' rake shim in the front?

It effects total caster 20 kick and 10 deg caster = 30 in total
It will handle in a different way than say 25 kick and 5 caster = 30 in total

This can change the front of the car a lot


I know that more rake/less caster will handle differently than less rake/more caster, more caster gives you more exit steering, less gives you more turn in, but what about rake?

Rake will affect the amount of weight shift forward under deceleration - just like anti squat but in reverse.
More rake = less weight shift forward
Less rake = more weight shift forward
