Recommendations? So far i've been running no toe and about 2 degrees front camber to make the larger that necessary (subie sized) tires fit into the arches. I now have some more respectable sized tires so what should I run?

Whatever Jesse runs seems to be perfect, well at least good enough to humiliate a bunch of Subarus.

Did VW ever publish setup sheets for various rallys like Ford did?

You have your work cut out if your plan is to beat Jesse.

Jesse Whitsell is a great friend and an awesome driver. Took his 140k old aba with a cam and chip powered, rolled at NEFR and hammered back to strait, mk3 golf to FTD overall at the last NER SCCA rally sprint at TeamO's place. made a few Subie drivers cry
