x2 and too much toe in? Did you get the alignment fixed? The toe should be set at 0*. The tC's handling is best set at the height around the TRD drop, it's been discussed, search.

Haven't heard of "too much toe" in a long time. Maybe its the inability to spell "the" correctly? Either way, anyone could have told you that racelands are not a true performing coilover.
