[QUOTE=bighungrydewees;6618462]LOL ... Who said anything about a front toe kit?
I was refering to the fact that he's already had his alignment done and the place still never got him that close to "0" toe up front.


I was actually at zero Toe on the Front L & R before the alignment. The guy set it at 0.17 to offset the negative camber and try to get more even tire wear. Should I leave the front Toe as it is?

 

The way I theorize that is that toe in would get you more even tire wear, but would increase overall tire wear. So it would wear more evently across the tire, but would be increased overall. Not to mention a possibly noticable decrease in performance.

You have to pay to play. Performance comes at a price.

 

+1 , the front is just fine, except toe. The rear is actually hurting you, get the camber arms as mentioned and bring the rear back to 1.8 and your set.

My front is cambered to 1.5 and have well over 20k miles on the tires, and another 10k with factory camber specs.

 

Beau, you make a good point. I think I will leave my front alone then. If I install the rear SPC kit, I think I will set it at -1.6 so it will match the front. What do you recommend that I should set the rear Toe at if the camber is set to -1.6?

 

Terrasmak, what springs do you have and do you have the rear SPC kit? Just curious as to what your Front & Rear Camber and Toe specs are.

 

I always run a "little" toe in on the rear. It makes the car more stable and helps for keeping the rear end planted when you power out of corners. I have .04* of toe IN in the rear. I'm guessing you should match the toe of the front to get similar tire wear since that seems to be your major goal. If my car is loose after I finally get to beat on it again in the spring I'll probably add a little more toe in to see if I can make it more neutral.

 

I think I will take the car back to reduce the front Toe. Any suggestions on what I should have it set at? Beau, I know your front Toe is set at zero, but 0.17 seems too high.

 

I don't know what is considered to be a "lot" of toe. Maybe split the difference and set it at .1 toe in front and rear.

Alignments are a learning process. You can fine tune a car with it or screw it all up. You will probably never notice unless you drive the car close to the limit anyway. .1 toe in sounds like a good middle ground though.

 

I'm on coilovers and run -2 rear and -1.5 front. No arms in the rear, but need them to back my rear camber off to 1.9 or 1.8 , havn't decided yet. Also going to up my front camber to about -1.7.

 

The specified range for the front Toe is 0 to 0.10. What is everyone else running for their front toe settings? I am taking my car back in next week to have the adjustments made. Let me know what your front Toe is at now and if you have had any problems with excess tire wear.

Beau, I like your idea of just setting it 0.10, but I am not sure yet.
