I was actually thinking about just this. I changed ride height and need to adjust toe before going to the Ring. I found this on the subject:
Quote:Now to get back to tire wear. It is not the camber settings that prematurely wear out tires (unless you never drive your car hard enough) but the toe setting. The toe setting will change with any suspension change you make and is mandatory to be adjusted after any change to the front suspension. The easiest way of adjusting this is by picking up a set of toe plates. They are just 2 pieces of metal that you put against your wheels with a tape measure slots built in. I just set my toe to 0 but you can give it safely about an 1/8inch in ether direction (ie tow out= autocross, toe in= high speed stability).

After talking to my friend who used to rally his AE86 I decided to try 0.5 mm toe in.

Sarcasme is just one of the things I offer Wink
