Default Quick'Toe' Question:

When you lower the car which way does the TOE go...in or out? we've lowered the car a bit and in between alignment>waiting for new Top Mounts. Sure don't want to burn these tires up so we're going to eyball it until the car goes to the Rack'. danielle

Toe - camber - will be increasingly negative as you lower the car. Looking at the car from the front, the tops of the front wheels will be closer together than the bottm- so they will slop in at the top.

Up to a certain degree this is beneficial to roadholding- but too much toe out is detrimental, and will make it tramline like a pig.

Hope this helps.
