Why have you opted for zero toe?
yeah dbl wishbone setup at the front, actually vauxhall chevette. Good ol scimitar factory parts bin car design lol.
rose joints do make it harsher, i dont think id ever use them on a road car suspension. wear rate and dirt ingress gets to bad for a road car. I like polybushes for road cars, firmer without removing your fillings and still hugely better location the rubber bushes-Yuk!
Scims have zero toe as std, but to be honest ive tried toe in and toe out. toe out gives better turn-in but makes inner tyre shoulders overheat as they are really running too much negative camber when you add the dynamic camber in (camber change thru suspension compression). it also makes the car wander a little at high speed too, but not a major issue.
car runs better .5 and 1 deg of rear toe in too to make the car stable.
