Default Wheel alignment

I read somewhere on here that the Escort Cosworth wheel alignment should be set to a slight toe in, due to the front flexing backwards when under power.

Is my memory correct, and if so, what should the toe be set to on standard 16 inch wheels?

Thanks

John

Your correct 0.5 mm toe in on both sides, this means under hard acceleration the wheels pull parallel.
