any decent recommendation for a starter setup on low/medium grip asphalt? Kinda bumpy, too.
Made a starter setup on my TC 7 and I have a real loose rear on corner exits...so main goal seems rear grip
I race on outdoor asphalt. Kit setup but with the front sway bar added is working well for me.

Most of the guys on my track (outdoor asphalt) run between 2 and 3 degrees rear toe. 4 does sound like a lot. However rear toe adjustments shouldn't be the first recommendation for this car since the rear toe isn't adjustable without converting some of the parts.

Just to add, Andy wasn’t in any way part of the team before he did that review! It was only after it that he chose to join the UK team. Says a lot!
