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 |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Yeah, Longacre has one that's pretty straightforward, and I think it's like $100. I've been meaning to get my own, but since I'm not on the track all that much, it would just collect dust. The other trick is you need someone on your pit crew to check them because you want to get temps as soon as possible right after you pull into the pits. Too much to unbuckle, get out, and try to get accurate temps. However, for your purposes, it's more of a go-no-go. If you see radically higher temps on the inside (say 10-15 degrees higher than the middle/outside), then you know what's going on. Hell, in that case a Harbor Freight IR temp sensor might even be able to show that. John's suggestion to look at the triangles is a good one too. In that case though, keep in mind that your tire pressures have a big impact on rollover as well.
