Pic was taken with -2.8d up front, -2d back. 
AJ, "excessive" and "acceptable" are subjective I guess.  I have 1/8 toe in, maybe even a little less, so I believe I get acceptable wear. I have more wear on the outside shoulder from, um, turning "spiritidly" and I can also rotate all four. So I even drive winter at -2.8d. I only drive maybe 500 miles all winter, so that probably has an affect on "acceptable". Vorshlags do make some noise and add some discomfort. My car sounds like a truck from inside too because I removed the head cover and the "tray" (for heat evacuation and because I got lazy - I change my brake fluid a lot). As long as it's acceptable to my wife, it's acceptable to me. |
Thanks for the comments and quick reply. Really like the looks of that, same color as my car though I have black interior. I live in Pagosa Springs on a dirt road, even the paved roads out here are terrible. I would need back surgery with your set up in a week.
I wish I lived near a track like you guys do but I would not like the front range craziness.
What kind of brakes are those anyway, at first glance I thought you just painted the calipers.
