Going to MSR (www.motorsportranch.com) next week and last time I tried -2.5 in the front with 1/16th toe out and I had a blow out in the front straight at over 110mph. Got lucky, just messed up the inner fender.

After looking at the tire we feel that toe to zero should work better but need to have a little more camber in the front. Rear is fine at -2.5, on the track and on the street. MSR is VERY technical. I will post pics from the track.

it's not the front or toe I am talking about, that looks great. That much negative camber in the rear on a heavy awd is asking for understeer.

What suspension are you running?

Castor looks a little odd too, I have 4.0 degrees of castor on my MR.

I have coilovers and front and rear SB's... Trust me, for my set up, this is the ideal camber set up for track and street (rear only).

FYI, the car oversteers (coils set up soft in front and hard in rear)... I am trying to counter the fact that I don't have a front LSD ( but will in the near future).

What coilovers? what tires?

Apexi N1 for the coilovers and Perelli race tires, that's right, I have a connection
15mm spacers in the front and 5mm in the rear.

Since I don't have a front LSD, I am doing all I can do with my set up to hook up at corner exit...

So soft in front keeps the tires on the road and stiff in the rear helps for throttle steer.
