you guys might want to keep in mind when setting toe, that toe in will tend to make a car easier to spin and harder to catch by pinning the front end in a spin. whereas toe out will make it turn in better and easier to catch. i haven't tried this experiment, just what my research has uncovered. i saw quite a few cars at an autocross over the weekend, and there were a few that spun out, and a few that pushed really bad, but nobody ran a loose car and was effective except a guy who ran scca autocross cobra and you could tell he was loose but he ran good times. makes me wonder where the toe was set on some of the cars, but i bet i could come pretty close on who had the toe in or toe out. production cars run the toe in and they can get away with it cause the cars are set up to push pretty well.
i just changed from .040 toe out and the toe out was real easy to drive, except for the bad ruts in the road and the 275 tires with 3 deg caster and 1 degree camber. 0 toe drives just as well but is less effected by the ruts. i ran the .040 toe out on the autocross course awhile back and the car handled real well on turn in and rear end control. back on the track i think i would set it toe out.
just my btw
