Question:

How does changing ride height affect castor?

The affect on castor when lowering would be minimal. Certainly not something to worry about.
When the angle of the strut leans more backwards it results in more castor.

Cars looks great btw

    Bonnet is hitting on slam panel because the slam panel is hitting on the top hose mount on the alloy rad.

    Either i take slam panel off and bin it ot modify the cut out on the slam panel to clear the radiator properly.

    Only had it back for a day. Once i do that bonnet will sit purrrrrrfectly :)

    Also was at plainland woolies today vanadamite i took a pic lol

    You should take a few other shots for me, like straight side on and front and such. How much did you raise it up? (I'm assuming you've done that already)

    Sure? They've been pretty tempting lately. How many major issues have you had?
