Default Help from TRACK guys on alignment

AP2 STOCK. This is a lapping car for HPDE. 275 toyo R888 rear / 255 toyo R888 front. -1.5 front 6.0 castor 0 toe, -2.5 rear 1/16 toe in each side.

I saw considerable front tire wear beyond the "wear triangles" I had tire pressure of 39 lbs on all tires when hot.

The car felt like it was slight understeer on slow to medium corners, on higher speed sweepers or accelerating hard off corners it felt like it wanted to oversteer or would get very light in the back and not feel planted.

Thoughts???

Camber plates in front to run more neg in front.

Need information on your spring rates and shocks (unless you meant STOCK springs and shocks).

Then for sure camber plates and try to get to ~ -3 all around (or more).

Or add stiffer springs.

And add a wing.

Yes, stock everything except tires and brake pads/fluid. So I do plan to add some more neg. camber to the front. My concern is - I hear on this forum that the stock suspension is pretty good. I have no idea what the spring rates are and i understand what the sway bars do, but just dont know what is my next move. I prefer to mod the car in increments. With the tires and aligment the car went from 1:39 laps to 1:36 laps.

I wonder about the inside front tire just "skatting" on the inside lip with what I have now and adding more neg camber. Any more imput is appreciated.

With zero toe up front, as the car goes down the road, they get pushed and it become negative toe. I always run a little bit of positive toe on all corners to compensate a bit, that why when I am driving, it become 0 toe
