You don't want to fight the car on the street by toeing out (although it helps turn in) and you definitely don't want oversteer built into the system. DO NOT LET THE TECH TALK YOU INTO TOE IN EITHER WAY!!!!!!! It'll kill your ability to rotate the car.



Thats ludacris. The average person couldn't tell you the difference between 0 and .1 toe. Even some experienced drivers can not.



Camber: as much as possible, if you have zero front toe, you can go to 2.5* negative camber and still not adversely affect tire life on the street. I'm running -1.7* with whatever caster that gives me from the BAT kit.



The spec is -.55 The is a large tolerance, so for a street car that will see a lot of miles, I would not reccomned over -1.5. A zo6 used only -1.00 all around.




Get a bigger rear bar to help prevent oversteer, and watch your right foot!



Your way off, stiffeng the rear creates alot of oversteer. In fact I was talking with a Mustang engineer last week about the Aussie bar and how much oversteer it induces at higher speeds. Still great for autocrossing though

Thanks for the input guys. One more question: You mention I want absolutely 0 (or livin recommended .1 degree, I'm assuming out, and not in) toe. What about the effects of teh front drive wheels when you accellerate, doesnt that draw the toe in just a little? Is there any need to compensate for that (or as livin recommended, is the .1 degree toe recommended because of this)?



A lot can have to do with how much you have changed your suspension around i.e. stiffer springs, bushings etc.. I just double checked the factory toe settings in the front and it calls for -.17. Thats for contours generaly soft suspension in the front. Toe does change in the front and rear. Its called ride toe. Is tested by oems on a very expensive machines and they spend countless hours trying to level that out. I also checked the specs of a well tuned perfoming FWD car, tuned for handling(custom spec), they to request .1 toe and the car handles great.
