I experimented with toe out on my GT6 and really didn't like it at all.
At high speeds, the car felt very unstable.  Scary.

Bobby,
Scott and I both have a similar Front Camber settings. I would suggest a
starting point of 11/2" degrees neg with zero toe. With brand new tie
rod ends (from Spit Bits). Try this first and explore different tire
pressures.

Scott,
Looks pretty close to mine. Except, I think that maybe the front should
toe-in by 1/16" instead of toe-out. (as toe out will produce more
tendency to "PUSH") By the same logic... the rear should maybe toe-out
1/16" (instead of in).
2 other things I would consider aside from the "slow in... fast out"
driving style.
1) Perhaps those Toyo's are a bit to hard? (based on the fact that you
have noticed no change trying the full range of different pressures)
2) Also, Maybe a 3/4" or 7/8" bar maybe worth a try.
I have not tried the bigger bar you are using but was told that the
biggest bar was a handful on tighter tracks. I'll have to double check
the exact size (of mine). But I do know that I have not used the biggest
bar that I have.

All, and MadMarx,
What's better the deldrin or bronze?
Or is it bronze for certain parts (control arms) and deldrin for others
(shocks)?
