Default RB5 Vega rear toe mod!

Hi There, I tried something this weekend on my car and it was VERY good, so good that i just had to share it, so here goes. I fitted the narrow RF block to the front of the rear arms and the wider RR2 block on the back. My reason was after looking at the petite site for reference on the inserts at the back of the ZX5FS i noticed it said that for every step ie: A to B is 1/2 degree and .75mm so, transferred over to the RB5 (they use the same arms so the blocks are the same distance apart) a 1mm per side change should result in an increase in rear toe of .66666 r or .67 for short so you end up with 3.67deg inboard toe and you can ditch the expensive alloy blocks and have slop free hubs once more. My car was a real joy to drive again.
