Inboard toe-out (also referred to as arm sweep) is an option used by many team drivers. It will give you more turn-in, especially in low speed corners, and will make the car more stable on-power.

What shims are you using to get the 2mm front track width? I don't remember seeing any .5s. Thanks Alex!

The silver xray shim is 0.4 if I remember correctly, which should be enough.

Schumacher also do nice wide very good quality shims that are the same diameter as the Xray items (the only parts I have left over from Schumacher), they do some that are 0.5mm

XRAY now offers also the 0.5mm shims - #303121-K Alu Shim 3x6x0.5mm - Black (10) or #303121-O Alu Shim 3x6x0.5mm - Orange (10).

The only problem with those is that they have a slightly smaller diameter than the track width shims.
