Default Rear Toe

Has anyone on her tried a setting of .2 total (.1/side) rear toe? It seems like there may not be enough. I've run .26 to .3 before.My car currently is set up with:

R/L Front

Toe = 0
Camber -2.1/-2.1

R/L Rear

Toe .1/.1
Camber -1.8/-1.8

My car has 1mm total toe out at the front and 4mm total toe in at the back. Camber is -2.5 on the front, -2.0 on the back. We tried -2.5 on the back and the tire wear was uneven. It drives in a very neutral fashion. It's also balanced to have identical weight on the front wheels. This made a big difference.

Assuming you mean .1 degrees (and .26-.3 degrees), then yes, it is not enough for the track. I've tried super low rear toe and the car is unstable.

Factory setting for the car is ~13-14 minutes, which in degrees is .22-.24 degrees, each side. Cup car spec is about 17 minutes, which is about .26-.27 degrees. Even though you don't have very much front camber, I still think it's not enough rear toe.

I personally run about .17 to .19 degrees each side, but that's my personal preference, and because the RS has slightly more rear grip than narrow body.

I suggest you add more rear toe AND more front camber.
