Rear toe ?
I've got everything bolted onto the car and am ready for an alignment. I'm wondering where to initially set the rear toe. I'm not a big fan of a loose setup but don't want to understeer like a pig either. Any suggestions?
Will be running RTR with the following setup: 17 x 7 Enkei RPF1 225/45R17 Dunlop Z2's 22 mm Strano front bar Koni Sport SA Toyota crash camber bolts Zero toe on the front

if you want more stability you want toe IN
because that means the tires point towards the center of the car and as such applying their forces towards the center, thereby stabalizing the vehicle. some racers prefer zero toe but for a daily driven car this could make it prone to snap oversteer during adverse conditions, you don't want to go sideways on an onramp. toe out, well, that's crazy land.

You can look in the past threads but most have gone with 1/16 toe in on each side or 1/8 total or 1/32. With zero rear toe the rear end is a little loose. You might be able to tune that out with the shocks but some rear toe in is probably a good thing.
With the Strano bar zero toe in the front will probably work best. |
