    Nice pic's Jordan but what I'd like to know is how you keep the sides of your car.

    As your tires sitt out beyond the body work on the lower quadrant so road debris tends to damage the paint.

      I'd look at what you're at right now, and get an idea of where to go from there. I don't think you should necessarily be asking for toe suggestions because not many people will have experience with 245 front tires. Just work towards more toe-in from what you're currently sitting at.

      BTW, having previously rear tires mounted up front is what is really hurting you here. They're worn more on the inside, so the current contact patch up front isn't quite parallel with the ground. The same thing happened with me and my 225's. It'll dart around like crazy until you either replace them or wear them down sufficiently to be square on the front axle.

        Well I'll just give my opinions here.

        I think zero toe works just fine on the street to be honest. Turn-in is incredible and the car really isn't all over the place unless the roads are a mess. High speed is still very stable and you can cruise with a hand on the wheel. When roads are nasty, I tend to have both hands on the wheel anyway. It's nothing like having a dedicated auto-x car with some toe-out or anything.

        Factory specs up front are 0.1 to 0.19 I think, so I'd go with 0.1 if you want just that little bit of toe-in for the "comfort/luxury" drive. I really don't know what you're going for. Last I remember, you were planning on doing quite a few track events, so I figured you're looking for something a little more performance oriented.

        Onto an additional point, front toe is super easy to take care of yourself WHILE AWAY FROM AN ALIGNMENT RACK. While you're getting your car aligned, start with a standard setting (ex. 0.15), then record how many turns in either direction it takes with the tie-rod to get to a track (0.0) or comfy street (0.19) oriented reading. You understand what i mean? EDIT: i can offer a little more suggestions if you're interested.

              Front Bumper/Lip and M-Technic II Rear Spoiler. Everything else is different, and I'm sure Jordan would be quick to point out the differences. I don't think he would want to have is car compared to a Bronzit 4 door. :p

              EDIT: Yea i know they flow a bit similarly. We do share a lot of styling taste.

                  Yeah, but Chris' is badass. Any bronzit that has a gnarly suspension or engine (or both) is immediately better than anything else.
