Toe out kills the inside edges but is great on track, everything in suspension seems to be a compromise if you use the car on road and track...

According to my experience and the Simpson's article posted by Shimmy it's the other way around actually:

Nopt as simple as that, it depends on camber too. Any toe (in or out) can wear the tyres, the elvel of camber dictates whether its inner or outer tyre wear.

How did i miss this thread????

The gay lovers having a go at eachother is pure class

But seriously i haven't got much understanding on the subject but all i know is that i run -2.5 on track and feel i need more as i wore the outside edge on the front cups really quickly.

Not sure if i need to stiffen up the suspension aswell? My issue on track is turn in. the car understeers to much in mid to high speed corners.

Be interested to try out Rob's settings/setup.

When i got my geo done at BMS they recommended using standard CSL geo. What do you guys in the know think about that???

More settings would be helpful. I am running normal street tyres with -2 and I get understeer. Thinking -2.5 or -3 might be good and also raise the rear a bit.
