going from street tire to R-compounds
After 5 years I am finally going to track on R-compounds; I will be using NT-01s. As of now I'm on stock suspension except for alignment. Due to my current financial situation I dont have the money to get a set of nice coilovers and I'd rather get more seat time than spend everything on suspension and then not be able to use it, so I will keep tracking on stock suspension in 2008 . At this point I'm wondering if I should keep my current alignment settings or if I should go with a little bit more aggressive set up since I'll be using R-compounds?
Any suggestion regarding suspension parts up to $600.00 are welcome.
If it helps this season I will be using a wing; 13" tall.
Here are my current suspension setting:
FRONT
Caster: 5.4 deg
Camber: -1.5 deg
Toe out: 0.10 L, 0.10 R, total 0.20
REAR
Camber: -2.0 deg
Toe in: 0.20 L, 0.20 R, total 0.40
Those setting are without my in the car. I am considering doing new alignment with me in the car. Does anybody konw how much the angles change with a 220lbs driver?
Thanks

seems like alot of toe to me. I run 1/8 in. total toe out in the front and 1/8in. total toe in in the rear. But what ever works for you. Less toe in in the rear will loosen up the car.
I would also get a big front sway bar.
