- 2.5 front camber
0 Toe front

-2.0 rear camber
.20 toe in rear .40 total toe in

Change out your rear toe links.

I pretty much agree with 85Gold. My front settings are also -2.5 degrees camber and zero toe. I started with -3.0 camber in front but found I corded the inside left front probable from driving to and from the track. I think you will have to rotate the front struts(do a search) to get this level of front camber. In the rear I also have -2.0 degrees of camber but 0.26 degrees of toe per wheel for 0.52 degrees of total toe. This is a little above the factory max of 0.50 degrees of total toe in the rear. I also changed out rear toe links and would highly recommend it. If most of your driving is street you might want to back off the camber a bit--maybe a quarter degree.

There are a number of people who make rear toe links with monoballs rather than rubber. Mine were by RSS and came from Sharkwerks. In fact they did did a remake of both the front and rear suspension. Go to their list of project cars and then scroll down to the only GT2, a white one.

Why so much rear toe? I only have a 09 C2S but use GT3 Cup Lower Control Arms for more camber but in the rear I can leave the parts stock and my shop suggested .14 degrees per side of rear toe. They said around .14-.16 degrees or rear toe is enough and I will get better tire wear. This has proven true for both street and track.

Opinions?

GMG/TRG/Sharkworks all can help with rear Toe Links.

In the 996 GT3 I ran .15 rear toe in per side, but the GT2 was way to loose with .15 so I went to .20 and it tamed it down a lot. I am sure the difference is the amout of power @ the rear wheels.
