It would probably be better with a stiffer rear roll bar than the standard G4S, either the G4+ type, or the Mugen type mod.

or, a stiffer rear diff, 20 or 30K would make a fair difference.

or, a lttle more caster angle, we find 1mm of caster makes quite a big difference to on power steering.....

You are right with the rear toe, with any set up there is a minimum rear toe required (which will vary !) so you need to find what you need from somewhere else.....

Hope that ll makes sense !
Good Luck.
I tried the caster like you mentioned and WOW on power corner entry is great now. I went from the stock 2mm to 0mm (most incline) to see the difference and have not looked back. I can take the 1st turn after the straight as hard and i want and it goes in hard!! Love it!! Then i tried the 30k rear diff and it worked good also. I was worried about the rear end coming out but it just holds it.

The car still seems to pull a little bit on the mid to out of a corner. I have 0 droop up front. I am thinking correctly by trying less travel? maybe 2mm?

Thanks for all the help..
