Tuning FF cars

I have a pretty good idea how to tune every car layout except FF. You'll never need any rear toe, right? And how do I reduce under steer at high speeds?
 
Always set the front suspension slightly lower than the rear, also make sure the front anti roll bar is weak, the front damper compression is weak and a slightly softer spring rate than the rear. Those should help reduce understeer and yes, i never use rear toe-in so i would say you're right :)
Practicaly impossible to reduce it at high speeds though, the only way around that is the classic slow-in, fast-out approach.

I find negative rear toe very useful for reducing understeer in FF. It means you don't have to run extreme settings for springs/dampers/stabilisers/camber

And how do I reduce under steer at high speeds?
(sorry if this is stating the obvious!) Heaps of front downforce, minimal rear.

Also, lower LSD settings cause slightly less high-speed understeer.
 
Quite the contrary on rear toe, you can crank up the rear toe-out without many if any negative consequences (bar maybe tyre wear, but normally the fronts wear faster no matter what you do because of their general workload), and it will reduce understeer in a big way.
