If suspension is stock, a first gen needs to have a good amount of toe-in static because it toes out in bump (compression). I'd set it at 1/8 to 3/16" total toe in. Would probably use more toe in if you added tall ball joints and didn't address bump steer.



If you have reduced bump steer then you can run less toe in. If Bump steer was totally fixed, I'd run some toe out, maybe 1/8" to 1/4" for tight autocrossing. some toe out in bump is OK, it helps with Ackerman gain. Too much toe out and your car will pull left and right under hard braking.
