In a word....NO, it was useless and never took off, now there are no spares left for it either

It was called SACS, Schumacher Active Castor System and it changed the castor angle as the wishbone went up and down (rather than being fixed at say 25 or 30 degress like conventional blocks do)

you would have less initial caster, to give you turn in, then and the car pitched on the nose and you had suspension compression, it would increase the caster, giving theoretically more mid corner.
