There is also the issue of bump steer.. i have (i think) identified that my car does create bump steer. I've been told (not verified) that the 156 creates Toe Out under Bump Steer. Depending on how many parameters AD have taken into account including the fact that you, TB - seriously Track your car , they might have give your car a bit more Toe-in on this account.

I would think the stock torque of a GTA already creates maximum flex on the bushes, Ie max added Toe-in, but of course there might be more flex when you really hammer it in your beast!

I'm just saying that unless Pax tracks his car often, or do a lot of Motorway driving, then a Toe-out setting perhaps like the latest updated numbers or at least a bit more then yours is the best solution for him. I know the roads where Pax lives, so i would personally wellcome a bit more turn-in response on those fantastic B-roads in the area.

TBH, i suspect the AD guys gave your (TB) car more Toe-in then usual because of it's speed potential. It would be the prudent and safe thing to do.
