Mike, someone suggested for racing a 1G AWD, spring rates about 400/450 or 450/500. Siffer in the rear. Stiffer in the rear seems to work for 2Gs and Type Rs. I assume to promote oversteer. I am going to experiment with some aerodynamics for the track. A front air dam and a adjustable rear wing to produce more down force. I find the rear will lose it on fast sweepers while the front is planted but this could also be from that dynamic rear toe. WHERE's THAT KIT ?
Is the dynamic rear toe change caused by that huge rubber bushing inside the front of the trailing arm ?

Yes it most likely is, I can get solid mounts made for it if your looking for them

We recommend 400F 350R and a rear sway bar.
Running the high spring rate in the rear will cause some porpusing over bumps. I don't recommend it.
Yes that huge rubber bushing inside the front of the trailing arm causes the dynamic rear toe change. We are working on a bolt on kit for it. It will make the rear of the car more predictable.
