Lots of rear toe-in has *always* sucked for me on every car I've intentionally or inadvertently tried it on. AWFUL, no turn-in, more nonlinear handling at the limit and in transitions, could actually become *very* unstable *in a straight line* in very wet/inundated track conditions! And then at the next corner would not turn in... Also incredibly rapid tire wear. For me, zero positives to running a lot of rear toe-in and a ton of big negatives...



Yeah, sounds like good approach. Honestly don't feel like just going 7k to 8k on rear springs is going to make a profound difference in balance but could be wrong.

Also could be that some layouts are more understeer-prone than others...

Currently I'm halfway between RCE recommendations for SS-2 coilovers for road vs. track, 10 clicks out in front and 12 clicks out in back. Might crank in a couple of clicks in back as I feel like I'm a little too reboundy off of bumps/whoops on the street.

Gotcha I’m autocross only. Lol

It seems another STR person also runs a 19MM front bar from Perrin on full stiff with 7/9k springs.

I’m running 22MM full soft. And it does make sense when you look at the %s.

Also for 9k in the rear, if the motion ratio is about 0.75 in the rear, that means that will be around a 7k spring in the rear. So I do think you are right on 9k versus 8k.
