Default Does the rear suspension toe in or toe out....

I posted this in the technical forum, but it wasn't getting much traffic, so I'll try here.

I have a very, very conservative toe-in dialed in the rear in order reduce tire wear. (1/8" total toe in , half of stock specs)

I might be lowering my car on Spoon progressive springs, which yields a 1" drop. Will the rear wheels toe back in near stock settings, or will they toe out even further towards a 0 or perhaps toe OUT?

I believe toe in will decrease, or perhaps even toe out like you mentioned. You might want to post this in Racing and Competition as they have a lot of discussion with toe change under suspension travel.

Maybe look into the Bump Steer Kit if toe is a critical issue with your set-up.

Thanks

I'm just wondering what to expect just in case I can't take the car in for alignment right away.

Anyone else?
