I think some numbers are off. If you change the ride height .030", that is so small that the extra burger you ate for lunch will compress the suspension as much! You could not even measure the toe change for that small of a ride height change.

A good question consists of: how much does the toe change for a given front ride height change, while holding the other factors constant? That is, with the stock suspension and steering geometry not changed. I might go see if I can measure the actual toe change for a 1" change in front ride height. Has anyone else done that and posted the numbers? And no, I'm not looking for the steering and suspension geometry diagrams that Bill V has posted several times in other threads. I mean actual measurements.

My starting hypothesis is that the change in toe for a 1"/25mm ride height change is within the specification tolerance for toe angle. Otherwise, I would think that bump steer, even at specified ride height, would be very noticeable.
