Hi Rob,

Like Forest says, put the spacer at the front to move the top ball joint back. The gives you positive castor.
I supplied you with a 19mm spacer, this will put you in the ball park of 6-7 degrees positive.
I think that is what works best on wide bodied cars with all that scrub radius due to the crazy (but great looking) offset and width on the front wheels.

If you dont like the way it feels mill the spacer down and move the ball joint forward a bit. 10mm of movement on the top ball joint will give about 2 degrees.

I think narrow bodied cars feel best with 5 degrees positive - some guys like more. That's the great thing about having the camber lock, you can experiment around with the castor without fear of losing your camber setting. As long as the ball joint is touching the camber lock bolt it will always be spot on. It's important to get it the same side to side.

Try different castor settings until you like the feel of it.
