Hey Paddock people,
With a dedicated track car, whats your alignment setting? My dad and I set ours up with what we thought is right. After about 10 track days I removed the RA1's and noticed the wear pattern isn't even. I can't remember if the front or the rears were more uneven. I flipped them around on the rims to get them to last longer. Any help, as always, is much appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Shane |

Shane, can you elaborate on how it's behaving differently? All I saw was a little less steering input in the second video going through Bishop's, which on paper is a good thing, as long as it's still in control.
What do the tires say? I.e., any difference in wear pattern from before? Have you tried getting tire temps with a pyrometer? |

It was the only part of Sebring that felt different. I used to go flat out though that bend. I was lifting a bit. Not sure that I really had to. It just didn't fell normal to me. As far as the tires go, the front are wearing more on the inside then the out. My concern there is that i'd like to see it more even. Especially for chump. Would love to see tires last 14 hours. (fyi. you drive first this time) Donny just bought a pyrometer. I haven't got a chance to use it yet. There so busy with the Corvette that i hate to bother them for help. I'd love to see what that machine tells me. |
