Front wheel toe
Hi,
I'm trying to adjust the front wheel's toe my car, to get the best one. After several drives with different settings and small adjustments, it looks like a good setting is when there is a “positive” toe (front wheels angle is «*open*») Do you think this is normal? I don't remember having read anything that mention a positive toe on a Haynes... So I'm wondering if there is something wrong... Any clue, idea, opinion is welcome Thanks a lot.

There is a section in the FAQ's which has a post regarding suspension setup. I think spud had 2 degrees toe in on the front of his roadster

I think toe setting is largely down to driver preference.
I prefer to run mine with a little toe-out. |

I'm still playing around with my settings but I think I might get it professionaly setup by a company who work on these type ofcars on mass.

I havent touched my tracking, but softening up the dampers a click or two all round made the world of difference to road driving.
Cheers Stot

Thank you very much for all the answers.
It looks like I have found an "acceptable" setting, with a bit of toe out for what I can see. But it is reassuring to hear that some like a bit of toe "out", so I'm not the only one for whom it works. And yes, it is definitely a question of personal preference, I got that now. I'm still going to play with it along the way, as I'm not 100% satisfied yet, as well as trying different shocks' hardness settings, it is a good idea! Thanks again for the help

Softening from where?! I've been driving around with all the dampers all the way to the left, occasionally hardening them by ~3 clicks for competitions. Also, for naughty skidding around cones leaving the front soft while hardening the rear several clicks helps (increases the oversteer).
