Do these adjust toe in aswell, i have to adjust the toe in to toe out on my mini? any other ideas?

yes,

IIRC they have horizontal grooves machined in the face,

you get it in the groove that gives the right camber, then do the nut up to keep it in that groove and flide it foward/back to give the right toe in.

if you cant get the camber quite right whip the late off and file the hole upward a bit till you can.

Are you sure you want it to toe out on the rear?!

toe out on the rear is both fast and very fun!

Not when the car won't go in a straight line it isn't (personal experience)

mine does now, but I had some troubles at first when I added the 16V engine to the car (gaining 60 hp at the wheels).

my setup:

Race LSD from minispares

front:
5 degrees castor
4.5 degree negative camber
1/16 " toe out

rear:
2 degrees negative camber
8 mm (difference between front and back of rear wheel) toe out.

The reason for the massive negative camber is the lack of arches on my car, forcing me to use S offset rims together with my 165/70-10" r32s

That setup is bonkers, but the whole point of setup is to suit the individual driver/car/usage. so if it works for you fine.

I personally have a lot of toe in at the rear (more than standard). I use the ARBs to adjust the weight transfer and hence balance.

well, you are not the first one to raise the eyebrows. but it works and gives even tyre wear on the tracks and the lap times are much quicker than with the more conventional setup I had before:

front:
1/16 toe out
3 degrees castor
2.5 degrees negative camber

rear:
straight toe
0.5 degrees negative camber

This made the outside of the tyres overheat and go blue. Again the reason for this is the wide tyres on the narrow rims.

I am running without any ARBs and both my subframes are solidmounted. I am running red spots cones all around.

Tyrepressures around 28 psia cold.

I tried parallel rear toe at Croft and had a trip to the gravel.

Toe in for me - I am with Wil!!!

I stand corrected. You should know

The DON also runs toe in at the rear.

I am not stating that my setup is the only one though and that rear toe in is wrong, and I agree that toe in gives a more stable car, although my rather extreme setup works for me.

Tyre choice has a bearing here but unless you are running Mini seven tyres this will be your destiny!

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i wondered why the video carried on for so long!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

also worth mentioning,

toe out can work on twisty circuits.

quite a few mighty minis run toe out... as said it can work for the right circuit and driver

Haha, that man with the orange MC Hammer pants fell over!

Sorry but uve got to love the sound of a kad on full song.

Amazing.
