Default Nagisa Auto front lowering block?

Can someone confirm the translation?



# Approximately +2.5 degrees front camber.
# ストロークUP(ローダウン)30mm Stroke UP (Lowdown) 30mm
# フェンダー内のタイヤ位置フロント側に約10mm Tire in the front position about 10mm fender
Does this lower your car 30mm, add 2.5 degrees of camber AND fix caster issue?

That's fine.

Not sure what you mean by fixing caster issue since there is no mentioning about the "issue". But this lowering block does the same thing as the Youzealnd SS Pro does for the front tire. The tire will move towards the front by 10mm.

Seems like it adjusts caster and adds camber. I wonder how much.

when you lower the car, your fron wheels go back naturally
caster = wheels moving from front of the car back or the other way around






^^^ Lots of negative caster

hope that helps

it translates to "Little Orphan Annie says drink your Ovaltine"

If you use Google translate, it says:

Strokeup (lowdown)

and

Location above the tire in front position

for the two Japanese lines. Still though, not sure what these two parts are suppose to do.

That translation is pretty good.

the kit will drop the front by 30mm,add 2.5deg of camber,move the castor setting forward by 10mm (roughly a degree more positive),and maintain your normal range of suspension travel in the struts.

Win all 'round!
