The OEM suspension is set toe-out in the front. What would you set toe in the front in a lowered car with stiffer swaybars?
My problem is that the front tires are wearing out very fast on the inside like: 'bald' on the inside and still 4 mm left on the outside of the tire. My car has -2mm total toe-out in the front, camber is less than 1 degrees. So, I don't know if the wear is a result of hard braking or hard slow-cornering. The Type-R swaybar certainly added up for more wear on the front tires when it was installed back then.
I now changed - according to another guy - to +2mm toe-in in the front like the Ferrari 360 is set to. It's hard to tell the difference as it got colder outside and the tires' rubber doesn't heat up enough even with spirited driving. It's still quite neutral with a slight tendency of understeering which is ok for me.
I think the geometry changes with the car being lowered and that it's not ideal to go with the stock alignment Settings in a lowered car.
What do you think about toe-in versus toe-out in the front or what aligment do YOU recommend on the lowered car (1.5'')?
