Yup!

First of all, I'm in BS.

The only major mod I've done with the car is R compound tires on OEM wheels.

 

The sidewalls of the Victoracers do seem softer than S02's for example. I'm planning to try out UK alignment specs to see if I can achieve more effective cornering force in hopes of shaving off a full second, maybe.

Another mod that I'm planning to implement is the Saner front sway bar to help settle things down a bit.

Thanks for everyone's input!

 

have you experimented with air pressures?

 

Yes. Altering tire pressures is my single, most important tuning approach for the past autocross events. I've purchased a pyrometer and carefully monitored the temperatures of the tires immediately after each run. While I've made small changes after each run, I've found that there's a limit to how much grip can be had using my Victoracers and unfortunately, I think I'm only using about 75% of the potential due to the wear pattern.

From what experienced drivers have told me, I'll need to run more camber eventually in order to maximize the R compounds. My only issue with that is my car is my daily driver so I'd like also maximize tire wear on my S02's. I may give the UK alignment specs a shot.
