So based on that chart, using the "stock" settings you have highlighted... are you running 1.5mm narrower in the rear compared to the standard T4 settings or is that 1.5mm narrower compared to using 1-out front and rear? If the latter, how does that track width of -1.5mm compare against the stock T4 track width?
Like you, 2 dot outside RF and RR results in about 3.5* of toe... and I thought about doing 2 RF / 3 RR to get down to 3* but seeing your chart makes me wonder if I should go w/ that 1.5mm narrower setup and put on the +0.75mm hubs?

hey Christian,
any eta on the 1pc suspension block spacers and the closed layshaft holders for the rx4?
I've seen the r1 spacers, but didn't know if they would fit.

Okay, I need parts and they are out of stock... bleh.
Anyway, ran my RX4 yesterday the first time with my "new setup" ... and it was the best handling touring car I ever drove. Too bad I still can't drive.
Here's the gist:
tires: solaris medium (track spec)
shocks: 3 hole 1.1 pistons 350cSt
springs: 2.7 all around (on a bumpy track, 2.9s may be better on a smooth track)
sways: 1.5 front / 1.3 rear
front camber links: middle hole, 2mm shim -- 1mm on caster block
rear camber links: middle hole, 0.5mm -- 4mm/inside on hub
caster blocks: 6 degree
diffs: spool front / 2k rear
front inserts: 1 dot out ff and fr (stock)
rear inserts: 3 inside rf and 2 inside rr (results in 3* of rear toe)
front toe: 0*

Hey all,
the Top Gun race here in Union City, California just concluded. This was my first race with the RX4 and it didn't disappoint. The car generated more corner speed than I had ever felt with the stock T4 '13, without a doubt. I'll put a setup sheet together and post later tonight or tomorrow.
Great work, Cristian.

What springs would you recommend for low grip carpet.
I was running on a track where the bake kept trying to break away mid corner.
This was the last final, the best it had been all day, but you can still see the rear twitching. Tyre wear was non existent. I could do with better steering, but until I get the rear planted it's of no use;

The car really was amazing. NorCal is interesting because in the morning the traction can be a bit low until about 11am when it climbs to mid grip, drops a bit if the temps get above 85F, and then goes way up around 6PM (happy hour). The setup above had a nice balance throughout the day, only minor camber changes were necessary throughout the day.
