1XA/1F is standard in the rear on the WE kit. It will give you 3.5 degrees of rear toe (per side). Generally, I find rear toe gives you more forward traction, and increases the stability of the rear in general, but often at the expense of corner speed.

Which block did you use together with the F block?

OK, I think that 3deg toe is more than enough for the rear I like to run with 3deg or less so what is the next block number for 3deg? And what is a split block?

I call the one piece "bridge" and the 2 piece "split".
The lettering is based on a number line system . every sequential letter represents another 0.5 deg increment. The split blocks can be either X or not the X. The #1 represents a roll center change and does not effect toe in.

Hope this is a help to you .

i use 1XA 1D rear and the lack of rear toe has reduced the drag on the straight and our straight is LOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNG , and now i have a top speed 5kmh faster than using 1XA 1F

that is also some thing to think about

So you would use the XA-D in the rear and the A-F to get your rear toe and front sweep? sorry for all this question but the 416we is not like the other kit I ever had, the kits I am use to have numbers to determine the toe.

The four blocks on my car right now from front to back are as follows...
1XC/1XC;1X/1F

Are you sure? That seems like a really narrow front end...

Normally I use C-C or D-D at the front. C-C is a touch narrower than D-D and will give a little more steering. If you want to run sweep, you can try D-C.

At the rear, I'm running X-D which gives 2 deg rear toe which I feel is plenty for 10.5. XA-D and X-E will give 2.5 deg but X-E will be a touch wider which should give a little more stability than XA-D.

These are all subtle differences that lets you fine tune the handling of the car.

Man I think my car would be a bit twitchy with 2 degrees.

Yea that is the reason I got the 416we you have so much fine tune options, now all I want to know is the difference between the suspension blocks so I can setup the car the way I want.

I was racing on a small tight and twisty circuit, and more than anything need to stabilise the car. I've normally always run XA/E... and a friedn suggested trying F to help, and well, it did! Corner speed wasn't crucial, but stability was
