"and additional caster added"

What's this mean considering the caster is adjusted in the shims? Sorry, still learning.

Shims will adjust the castor, but won't change the amount of castor built into the arms design.

For example, lets say we start with 2 degrees of castor, and by adding shims we can get up to 2 more degrees... that equals 4. But if we start with 4 degrees of castor, we can end up getting 6 with the shims. Hope this explaination helps!

Yep I am thinking a set of upper C4 arms with adjusted BJ angle's would fit right in here with the rest

That's right... the new tube version replaced the old one. Stronger, lighter, and better looking! Why go backwards?

I know there have been several guys who own the earlier version that would like to upgrade to the new one. Keep your eyes peeled, as a good deal might pop up.
