The general consensus is caster should be between 5 and 7 degrees. But you need to take off the 10mm of neg trail in the upright or you wont be getting that in real terms. The upright. http://www.super7thheaven.co.uk/Sierra_Upright

I always thought it would have been better to have a fully adjustable top wishbone so there was the scope to dial in what you need.

mine is spot on 6.3deg both sides using offset mushrooms. i faced the offset hole forwards. if you line the centre of the hole up with the line in the front of the casting it should be absolutely spot on if the chassis is built correctly.
