Any noticeable difference in braking with that much camber?

the abs can't tell a difference, still stops at 1.1g. might drive the inside temps high if the braking zones are long enough.

Looking at the difference of PSRS offset vs stock caster, checking 20* and 30* steering angle -3.8 to -4 deg would give roughly same camber at steering angle. This was assuming stock is 3.5* caster and PSRS gave another 1.5, and all other caster affordances were the same.

That is unless you've built a delrin offset bushing...

NASA TT Rules, Going above a 275 DOT Slick (Hoosier, R1S, etc) gets you a power to weight penalty.

Me, NASA TT and occasional DE days, which I drive in TT trim.

Well according to my Solo accelerometer data from Road Atl in March, no. Braking at high speed into 10A saw 1.5G peak. That was at the 3.6 degree setting front, 2 or 2.1 rear.

BTW, contrary to popular beliefs, I actually run a more aggressive pad in the rear of my Evo than the front. Car is more stable, stops better and nose dives less.

I run the same tires on my Evo X and I have less than a half inch of clearance and I recently noticed that the paint on my spring was starting to be rubbed away. The tire how ever didn't really show any signs of rubbing as they are minimal. Since you have more than the .5 of an inch I would say that you should have any rubbing issues since I am less than that and barely rubbing.

Hope that helps you
