Are you noticing a difference in handling with the toe discrepency or uneven tire wear or heat? Maybe you can leave it even though it seems off, .2 is not that bad. I might try a shock o ring or other oring in the equasion and tighten until it is even, not sure about how well it will hold up in time though.
I would not want to give up the rear grip but there are adjustments you can do to compensate if you do add the 1 piece mount in the rear of the front.

guys, any ideas what to do to have same toe in on rear left and right wheels? right hand side is 3 but left hand side is about 2.8..? i pushed the alu holders against tightening direction but still is not right.. First was 2.5 but now i could do it until 2.8 but still have no 3... the car is brand new of course....

+1, I have had a t3r, t3 2011 and now t3 2012, and all have had different toe left to right.
I find 1.75mm of shims on the left, and 1.5mm shims on the right gives equal toe in of 3 degrees. Not sure why.
Using the one peice holder at the front of the rear will reduce rear flex and traction

I currently run on a small/mid sized carpet track running 8.70fdr using a 13.5 boosted LRP x12! Do u still think 4.0fdr is a gd starting point or is that more for larger tracks?

This is more likley to do with the combination and inconsistency in the thicknesses of the shims and the plastic suspension holders being used. Differences of up to .05 mm is pretty common when checked with calipers and is responsible for the small variances in toe from side to side. With some effort and an assortment of shims, you can get it perfect.. I ve also touched up the suspension holders with abit of sand paper to ensure consistent thickness as these can vary slightly too... Hope it helps...
Updated:
used silver shim from kit, ~0.3mm and that problem is solved! Thanks to all.

Will spurs from serpent fit on the T3?
I need smaller spurs and the smallest xray is 78.
Serpent goes to 72.
Thanks

Yes 4.0 is a good starting point, on larger tracks we can run as low as 3.2, but generally 3.6-4.1 covers most medium sized tracks, and it depends on what motor, how much timing, and how hot that motor is getting. I run thunderpower motors with around 32dg of timing.

Its a good job these cars are suppose to be a luxury car. I'm so pleased I found this thread I thought my set up gear was out.
