Marek, we use 2mm in front and 1.5 in the rear, you create toe out on the arms, it is different than toe out on the wheels. by this, you get more turn in steering |

I did not test opposite, but it makes sence. However I would rather find different way to remove steering than this, (harder bar in front or harder springs in front) |

Hi Martin, What is the biggest difference you would run between front and rear spacers? I've played about with it a little but not too much, I was thinking about trying 1.5mm at the front and 0mm in the rear. I've been told you can get much more mid corner steering by doing this? Mark |

I would say maximum 0.75 on each side. I use 0.5. You get more turn in but not mid-corner steering. I would not use 0 in the rear because than you make the front suspension too narrow and you can overheat the tires quicker and car can feel twichy with too narrow front suspension. At least use 1mm shim in the rear |

Great, so I can learn something new here as well why you did not advice me this in at the ETS when I was traction rolling in every corner and I was desperate?
