Interesting reading comments on camber and toe in the Racng forum. Clearly track racing and driving along UK B roads arne't quit ethe same though

Alignment is in a large amount dedicated to getting the most out of the tyres. Getting usable performance out of the same tyres on road/track requires a different alignment - the car's been driven very differently and loads the tyres differently. Hardest tends to be getting a compromise for R compounds that works well enough on road and track. The OEM S02JZ's have a nicer window to work with. If you're prepared to do alignments yourself (not that difficult) you can gradually tweak the car to get the balance you want - especially playing with the front to rear stagger (ride height for the roll axis and camber being the main ones, with rear toe coming next). Then again, I seem to remember you being tweaked out a while back.....

From that thread..



One thing I'd noticed with the new control arms, is that if I deliberately lift mid corner it doesn't introduce a big wiggle into the car like it used to. Sure the weight transfer can get you, but it seems much much safer like that. RWS - root of all evil.

Very interesting how they're all saying run as much front camber as possible. As I said on the other thread, mine was understeering until I fitted the front ARB, which I think is all down to camber. More front camber must make it pretty horrible to drive on the roads though, and make the braking worse.

I just need to get out and drive it at the moment The grip is better, the car is definitely more planted on long sweeping corners and the loss of grip is more progressive. But the downside is a reduction in braking force (the ABS kicks in more readily) and the steering is lighter as a result of the reduced castor.

My steering is lighter as well I put some of that down to the front anti bumpsteer kit
