less rear toe, that's a lot

on my cr with 225/255 - the car pushes a lot, i'm considering taking all the toe out in my next alignment

What's your caster at?
Regarding camber, what does your pyrometer tell you about your tire usage?

Also what track are you running?

1/8" total rear toe is not usually considered a lot on ap1. If that is 1/8 per side then maybe considered a lot but also a pretty common setting.

Also I agree about pyrometer. I think u should run what you have and adjust based on tire temps and/or tread wear. If you are pushing the car hard you will probably need more camber all around.

1/8 total toe. I can go to -3 camber all around if I want. I just don't know what's too much. I only have one half of a track day in this car so I havnt checked the tire temps to figure out where to adjust I just wanted to know if I should put more camber and then adjust from there. The S is still a new car to me. Looking forward to see what she can do.

^I agree. Most AP1s like pretty close to stock rear toe.

I can go to -3 camber all around if I want.

I would recommend -3 camber all around if you don't daily drive the car on the streets. If you do you may wear out your inside shoulders pretty quickly.
