T2 front toe in/out question

If 1mm on the rear = 1 degree of adjustment, it would probably be the same on the front.

As for the rear the mm toe in ratio is:

0.4=0.5
0.75=1
1.10=1.5
1.5= 2degre

But the length of the rear suspunsion isn't equal to the front. So i think it isn't just the same. But what is exactly is i don't know.

The distance is NOT the same front arm and rear. I'll measure it later today and post the correct shim <-> toe reference.

Sorry I didn't reply yet. My T2's are still packed in my 1:1 car. Going to the track now. Will post later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Ok, did some calculations:

For the rear the values are:

Toe -> Shim
0,50 -> 0,38
1,00 -> 0,75
1,50 -> 1,13
2,00 -> 1,50
2,50 -> 1,88
3,00 -> 2,25

and for the front:

Toe -> Shim
0,50 -> 0,35
1,00 -> 0,70
1,50 -> 1,05
2,00 -> 1,40
2,50 -> 1,74
3,00 -> 2,09

You should round it a little. These are exact calculations :wink:
