sspano01 ... for the radials to really work well , you need negative camber . 1 degree , at least on my car wasn`t enough . I change camber to a negative 2 to 2 1/2 degrees on front and rear before going to the track and then change back for the street . Yes , it can be a pain to do the work , but it does make you faster and more stable on the track . For the street , in my opinion , 1 degree is the max you want as lots of negative camber will eat up the insides of the tires . Keep in mind that when you change the camber , you also change the toe in .... set the camber first and then the toe in .
In addition to the GTI and Miatas .... add the new Ford Focus ST . Ford brought a 2013 Focus ST to VIR Memorial weekend .... that things corners like it was on rails .... and has about 250 to 260 hp !
I`m an old dirt track racer ... being sideways on a wet track at 100 mph really teaches you about car feel ..... is a ball to do .
Congratulations , you`re going about things the right way and will enjoy your car so much more as you learn more about how it handles and your capabilities .
