So here's what I'm experiencing.
Under hard acceleration, in gears 2,3,4, I can break it loose with just a twitch of the steering wheel. 5th I cannot as it is a flipped H. I looked at the car from the rear and realized I've got probably 3 degrees of negative camber on each side. I'm thinking those 11" Pilot Sports are probably only making contact with half of the tread. The inner half. Is their an adjustment balance of negative camber, for maximum traction, under hard acceleration and hard turning? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

for the street, set them to -0.5, that should help a bit.
i don't know nothing about the pilot sports, what's the treadwear on those? the softer, the better. also, what's the tire pressure you're running? if it's too high, the tires aren't going to stick well ... how high does the rear of the car sit compared to the front? have you cornerbalanced the car?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy Treadwear is 220 Traction AA Temperature A I am going to raise the rear a little bit to get the camber going in the right direction. Then start shimming. My plan is to fabricate a wheel alignment setup similar to this one http://wiki.seloc.org/a/Geo_Alignment_Rig_(Home_Made) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
