I think everyone in the US runs less front camber than rear. I would try -2.25 front and leave your rear at -2.75. With your spring rate, I'm guessing you have too much front camber reducing your contact patch.

I think he means 0 Deg 10 min.

You mentioned using tire temp as a guide for camber? SIC has a long back straight before you pit in. That long straight tend to cool down the outer block of the tire a bit. Maybe you can factor that into your consideration too, just to see the true picture. Better if you can pit in after T6 (if it's available). Otherwise MB's method of using chalk works well.

Sorry for the delay.

Mugen is correct, 0.1 means 0 degrees and 10 minutes in the uk. Bit confusing, but more accurate. So when you get to 0.59 the next step would be 1 degree or 1.0

60 minutes in a degree.

Hi mb... Thanks. On a 255/40 17 tire and 2000mm circumference that works out to be about 1mm toe in each side. Is that what you are running? Would just like to confirm thanks.

Also does anyone have any experience with the spoon s2000 expanded diff cover? Our final drive failed after many laps at the track. We are wondering if this is worth investing in or we should just go with a diff cooler altogether
