For stock dc2r suspension only front and rear toe can be adjusted.
So, the quesiton is how does front/rear toe in/out/neutral affect handling?

There's a good link about this in one of the stickies, or the knowledge base.
But I have a related question... what's the default toe, camber and castor for an EG VTi? Is it something I'll find in the service manual?

Here ya go, I just found the link for you... aren't I nice? ;)

Where else would you want to adjust toe apart from the front and back wheels LOL ?

relative to?

Here's a lil fact. The DC2 and EG chasis (not sure about the others) have trailing arms that induce toe in under braking to help keep the rear under control ;)

That is correct , but not such the case when alignment is out of spec for modifications / lack of :)
(ie my car which is all over the shop eheh)


Can any other users suggest another reputeable shop for a full alignment in Sydney ?

I'mt still confused!?

Toe I believe is more to do with turn in than anything else.

toe still does affect both straight line driving and cornering - but what is he on about ?
