i got a noticeable bump in stability from 1/16th total rear toe in on the same sway bar settings. last year when the tires got a little slick the rear would get a tad jumpy on me under braking, this year it has yet to happen with the tad of rear toe. i do needto soften my rear bar with the new coilovers tho...but the damn endlinks are rusted and need to be cut out.

i have yet to be allsy enough to try my splitter tho lol.

I'm not trying to come off as a smartass, but rereading what I wrote could be interpreted like that. I'm honestly looking for valid advice. From what I understand toe on the rear helps make it rotate even more.

making an over simplified generalization, between 1/8" and 1/4" total toe in is a good starting point for the rear. Stability under braking and turn-in is a good thing.

02 wire hanging down. I need to reziptie it to the moustashe bars haha. 02 sensor where the cat was has been removed for a few years

The bar on the opposite side is just there to ziptie the brake ducts, keeps it out of the wheel.

Same. Let me know if you find a good solution, it's a pain in the *** to pull the bumper once I've got it ziptied and dialed in.

i had my friend made this quick disconnect for brake ducts. dont have to fight with the stupid hose anymore when taking the bumper on and off.
