Default Toe angle and ride height relationship for DC2 Integra.

Hi I have a question related to toe and ride height relationship for DC2 Integra.

How everyone knows lower the ride height will generate more negative camber on DC2 chassis. How about toe? What is the relationship between the two? Will lower ride height result toe angle inward or outward? This is one question I always want to find out the answer.

Thanks for any input.

im pretty sure it will give you a little toe in but it's nothing an alignment can't fix

as your suspension lowers it will pull the tow inward to a small degree yea, just get you car aligned after you lower it.

From what i have heard the effect of lowering a car will have a very minute affect on the toe (pulling in). But even the slightest inward or outward toe on a daily driven car will wear your tires very hard.

Alignment will fix that.

You might get mixed answers, while some will say you will get a toe-in, my car was an odd ball and had a 2 degree toe out... that was insane but cornering was fun on the way to the alignmentshop. It might also have to do with the style camber correction kit you have. I have the ingalls =\ .... (shitty but hey free was free). Im planning to upgrade this soon.

Not only does Toe contribute to major tire wear, toe will also affect the overall handling of the car during cornering and extreme toe angles can have a positive or negative effect on your straightline speed.

If you guys get serious with your teg, consider different toe angles before an HPDE.

while we are on the subject, have any of you done custom toe and camber settings specifically for HPDEs?

Yes, I do them all the time on everything for Hondas to Porsches, on a front wheel drive car a slight amount of toe out while making the car slighty less stable at high speed really helps with cornering and understeer while toe in does the opposite. Thats why cars stock have toe in to help control them and rein in drivers getting alittle to crazy
