I'll probably try different gearing this weekend too on the 415. But I'm also experimenting with 1° toe on each side. Basically I run the optional rear 1° hubs with 2 D Blocks. Car is plenty fast down the straight. Just tricky getting it just right in the turns. But I too agree, the car handles changes very good and noticable. I can easily feel the difference just adding a 1mm shim under the rear camber link. Once again, it's a very nice car!
Hi KilRuf, do you shim your rear wheel axle with the aluminum hubs? I too have them and the car is running very well with 2° rear toe-in. However, there is a lot of play between the wheel axle, bearings and the hub and I think it does affect the handling during quick transitions. I wanted to shim them but wasn't sure what might be the best way to do it without adding friction.
