There is an error on the sheet that I will fix and re-post ASAP. For the suspension mount spacers in the front it should read FF=2.3mm / FR=1.4mm This gives some front arm sweep.

The limited (im not certain that those shims actually come out to 1*) rear toe should be used only if the grip is real good. You have to keep in mind that the Photons make huge amounts of traction. This being the case you can try things with this car that you may not get away with in other cars. No two car designs are the same much like no one persons set-up will suite all driving styles. I suggest that you put this exact set-up on your car (assuming your track has a good groove) and the tweak it a little at a time to best fit you.

I changed the rear toe to that amount just before qualifying. Earlier in the day when there was less compund layed down I had an additional .5mm shim at RR.
