FYI- There is no default "ideal track camber". It is a driver/team preference. 2 degrees isn't that much for a track application. FR-S or otherwise.

There are plenty of tires in 235 that are "grippy".
Are you tracking the vehicle or just need street rubber?

For example- Yokohama S-Drive or AD-08.

If you want it easier , go staggered.

Just a friendly question.

Why do you charge $4700 for this kit w/o the rear spoiler when other vendors sell it for $2500-2700?
