Re: Toe-in Specs with Semi-Slick Tyres
Thanks. I'm in Auckland, New Zealand. NZ regs don't require the tow hook to be a contrast colour. Just that it's either red, orange or yellow (and the tow position is marked). What are the suspension specs on your car? I'm running AVO adjustable rear shocks with reset lowered stock rear springs and ...

Toe-in Specs with Semi-Slick Tyres
How much toe-in are people using with semi-slick tyres? My car is running 205/60x13" Nankang AR1 tyres. Front springs are 600lb/in from Motobuild and front camber is 1.5 degrees negative. The car handles well round corners but is rather twitchy in a straight line. It currently has 1mm toe-in per sid...
