Dave J, I would be surprised if a de dion is spot on at either end and that is why I state shim and adjust to get to your specification.
I actually set up race cars (mine) have done for years and know that for me toe in works against the clock. Dave, I only ever test against the clock I also know that for me the amount of toe in varies, depending on front track width. My tests show that if a front is as wide as the rear, it won't be required. As I said, there wont be a rule for 1 car that should apply to car 2 Altering toe on the rear alters the level of grip and I might find on this new car I now have, the level of oversteer requires significant changes that I am not used to, but as a start I shall be setting toe in. 😬
Good luck with yours
