7. As far as Toe-in, unless the driver says the car is wandering down the straight away, we don't touch it unless we make a very dramatic change. Then we will get out our Toe Plates and check the overall Toe-in to make sure the car is tracking straight.
I had many folks tell me they are running Toe-out .... what they are doing is compensating for the Ackermann Theory, and trying to help themselves get around a corner .... but we have never run Toe-out.... We built in Ackermann and run Toe-in and that way the car tracks straight down the track and turns-in at the proper point.

a. The toe-in setting we are using on KMP259 is 1/8" Total Toe-in= 1/16" inch on each side in the front.​
b. The toe-in setting we are using in the Rear of KMP259 were the same as the front with ; 1/8" inch Total = 1/16"inch per side in the Rear.​
c. Remember we spent a lot of time Bump Steering KMP259 on the front as well as the rear, and now it's paying off, the car tracks great at any Speed.​

8. So now to review, we looked at the overall Temperature readings and averaged them to get a overall reading to help us decide what to change, The Shocks, Anti-Roll bar, or Springs for a major change.

9. Then we looked at the temps across the tire to adjust our Camber, Left Toe alone and the same for the Caster.
