    I think the Corse "S" cars did run quite aggressive rear toe settings so these would probably be fine, it's the camber that is not ideal & I appreciate that this is out of your control currently on Frederics car.
    A strut type suspension system offers less camber gain in bump than the equivalent double wishbone set up so it is common to see more static negative camber on strut equipped track based cars to help compensate for the increased roll generated where the cornering loads & grip are greater but this wouldn't be suitable to a road car where the car spends substantially more time heading in a straight line.

    The corse settings recommended by Steve greenwood for the S are on my website http://m.turbonutter.net/site/mobile...etwork=fw#1022

    The I settings are there as well, but not sure who gave me those.

    My S ran a touch more toe and 7 deg front castor....

    Some video from the IVA test day: https://www.facebook.com/michael.eus...02876717517852

    During the test, the headlights were found to be pointing down too much, so we adjusted the headlamps themselves, which ran out of adjustment so we just lengthened the arms on the headlamp opening mechanism - hence why they're not quite flush in the closed position shown below. We'll sort this once the car has passed IVA.
