If you want a more responsive steering feel I would set your toe the tiniest bit positive. Like .1 degrees. I set my toe to 1 degree of toe out when I drove to get new tires and it was like a whole new car. Just remember toe eats tires.

 

.1 toe out front or rear? also i know camber/toe eats tires but how bad would .1 eat tires compared to having -1 camber on all 4 corners? and how should i setup the camber all the corners the same? or should the front or rear be less or greater than each other? should i add more -camber or reduce?

 

1/16th total te out up front
youll need more camber too. but get out there and run some events, then see what youll beed.
camber does not kill tires. toe kills tires.
<----4*f, -3*r tires got killed by broken stuff giving the car random toe out

 

yea im going to run in some events i just wanted to go in there semi prepared i know with experience i will find my own setup. but -4 f -3 r is a bit extreme for my daily lol maybe -2 f -1 r? does running more negative up front help handling better than one number f&r?

thanks for the info guys

 

its more of a balance. you need more camber up front cause thats where all the weight and load is. the rear is along for the ride. you dont need any camber out back for autocross and minimal for track use (i have -3* for another reason)

 

I autocrossed my EF hatch for years with 1/16" total toe out in the front and zero toe in the rear as well as 2.75 degrees negative camber in front and 1.5-1.75 degrees negative in the back. I also daily drove the car, and I certainly did not destroy tires at any rapid rate. Sure, the tires wore the inside shoulder faster than the outside, but after 15,000 miles or so of driving, there was maybe 1/16" difference in the wear.
