Difference between inboard and outboard toe-in
With the release of ASC T4.1 and the B4.1, I noticed in the instruction manual that they put 3deg toe-in at the inner hinge pins and 1/2deg on the rear hubs? Most people who have the older vehicals just get toe'd-in rear hubs.
Can any explain the difference between using toe-in on the in-board vs using it out-board?? what the benefits would be in each?

From the B4/T4 thread...
Changing the toe block changes the inboard toe. Increasing inboard toe in general provides more overall traction and makes the car more mechanically stiff. The downside of inboard toe is it can decrease cornerspeed.
Changing the outboard toe (hub carriers) is generally a mechanically softer change, and would be better suited for lots of sweeping corners. It also feels like a more subtle change.
The toe blocks also change the wheelbase of the car more than the hubs.
