That's why I drive the car once a week... If even that! IF I were daily driving it, I think it'd last a month.... The RE-01R's are too soft!

BTW, I'll post pics after Sunday. The car is filthy from shipping and I'm getting it detailed by Carbon Blue on Sunday.

I had my car done Thursday.. Clarence Brown is A+. The guy who did my car was Sean. I basically told him I drive aggressive canyons, but also drive back and forth to LA a lot so I wanted decent wear. This is what he set my alignment up as:

Front Camber = -3/4
Front Caster = +5 1/4
Front Toe = 1/16

Rear Camber = -1 3/4
Rear Toe = 1/4" total

I'm waiting to test it out this coming weekend on the desert run..

Hi,

Front camber seems to be a bit much and I am not sure how beneficial it would be even on the track. I would have added a bit of toe-in to the front tires (1/16"), this keeps the car more steady when changing lanes. I would have also added a bit more caster. The rear toe in at 1/4" also seems a bit high especially if you are not tracking your car and will lead to unnecessary tire wear.

You will definitely burn through those rears more quickly than the fronts. Do you track your car at all?
