So I just had an alignment done based off of Krazik's setting. But just noticed on the printout that theyadjusted tow in degress where the slip of paper with my desired specs had toe listed in inches.

Heres my after according to the printout:

Camber Toe Caster
--------------------------------------------------------------
LF -0.8deg -0.02deg 6.1deg
RF -0.8deg -0.04deg 6.0deg
LR -1.7deg 0.14deg ---------
RR -1.9deg 0.13deg ----------


This was done with me in the car. I requested -.03inch toe in the front and 0.14inch toe in the rear (per side).

How much of a difference is this and how should I expect this to affect the handling?.

Also to note, as a result, the rear toe is just slightly out of spec according to their printout (0.27deg total vs 0.32deg being the bottom of the factory range)

I think we calculated that the 6mm rear toe-in factory spec is approximately .50 degrees. My car currently has rear total toe-in of .44, although is has been as low as .28 when the mechanic was confused on the conversion and it felt ok to me.

Less rear toe-in supposedly makes the rear a bit more loose, more toe-in stabilizes it a bit but increases tire wear.

The factory spec is for zero toe-in the front. Some suspension guys dial in a touch of toe-out to help with turn-in especially when using high negative camber settings. I guess a little front toe-in may help tracking but I have not seen anyone ask for it on this car.
