Going to try the new steering arms and 7.5 deg castor blocks tomorrow indoors. Will post feedback on here tomorrow evening.

new Castor blocks give constant steering right through the turn made it feel very positive on or of power

Tried both the 7.5 deg castor blocks and new in-line steering arms today indoors at Rd 1 of the Telstar Winter Series.

7.5 castor blocks gave a very even steering input from turn in to exit. This enabled me to run new front tyres on what was in places a very high grip track, by taking the razor sharp turn in away and then giving more grip mid to exit. In-line steering arms also had a positive affect on the front end giving a very "connected" and even steering feel.

Both parts felt better and proved so on the watch, looked the business also.

I always thought more caster gives more initial steering and less out?...that's what I find on my 4.1 and also what the associated app states...

This is exactly what I found too having tested them last wk end-tons of initial-very little mid/exit steering. I tried the std 0 deg, 5 deg and 7.5deg back to back. I was using the std trailing steering arms. Let the debate begin lol
