0.20 rear toe angle

[loftylyons46]

0.20 rear toe angle why do most cars come with this as a standard setting .Ive been experimenting and setting it back to 0.00 and start tuning from there has anybody else done this ? 0.20 seems very extreme to me as a standard setting .

ye im also confused. Maybe it keeps traction? idk.
Its weird tho.

It's standard for a RACING suspension. Used for racing. The fully customizable kit is obviously going to come with handling improvements over stock. I'm sure it's for the people who can't tune their cars like an experienced person would.

Really . Well I suppose we all tune to suit our own styles it maybe just me that likes to start at 0.00 . Thanks for the heads up .

Probably because it makes the cars easier to drive.

higher rear toe is more stable at high speed.

 

[praiano63]

0.20 standard rear toe is useless for FF cars.
On FR/MR principally ,increasing rear toe help to reduce oversteer accelerating out a corner.
In this situation , must be used together with others settings like:

-Increase front dampers Ext.
And/or Decrease rear dampers Comp.

-Increase rear ride height
And/or decrease front ride height.

Using together is the best solution ,like this you're not obliged to use very high toe values that are bad for tire wear .

I have a question about toe. A lot of the tunes I see have a ton of negative toe (toe out) on them. Assuming tire wear is off why so much negative toe?

If I want to tighten a high hp FR car up I would add a healthy dose of positive toe like praiano suggested right?

Front or rear?

Front or rear?

A lot of the setups have a lot of toe out on both the front and rear. I'm mainly concerned about the rear in powerful FR cars though.

I posted this in the motegi oval tune thread but I'll post it here also. I was wondering if it is accurate for GT5 tuning. It was taken from here. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=4734953#post4734953

Toe-in, the front of the wheels on the affected axle (rear) are closer together than the rear's of the same wheels (like a duck's feet). On the rear, this causes the car to increase traction (therefore less oversteer, more understeer), meaning more grip when accelerating. It also increases rolling resistance. Use a little toe-in on cars with too much oversteer.

Toe-out, this is the opposite of above, the front's of the wheels on the affected axle are further apart than the rears (opposite of a duck's feet LOL). On the rear this will cause the back end to step out more readily when turning in. The downside is that straight line stability is affected, because if one wheel loses grip (lock-up under braking fro instance), the other wheel will try to pull the back end out of line. Use toe-out for cars which have too much understeer.
