I understand the intent, and couldn't agree more. The wording used seemed (to me anyway) to contradict what was being accomplished, just didn't want those that were seeing this stuff for the first time to become confused and wonder if they were missing something.

I believe most of the factory produced geometry isn't designed for people who want to or know how to "drive" their vehicles. Little tweaks here and there can provide much more driving pleasure for those of us who REALLY "drive".

So you say the turn-in is "improved" with some toe-out. "Improved" in what aspect? Is it more responsive to wheel input(oversteer), less responsive(understeer), etc? I am just curious, I LOVE this stuff. The cause and effect of it intrigues me.
