Ok, OP. Mixed in with our usual ribbing are some valuable observations. Let us know which parts make sense and which, if any, leave you scratching your head.

Maybe the OP went and turned off all the nannies and took that 40 degree (C or F ...??) at 60 mph and is now doing laundry .....

I'm also gonna go with there is likely an input somewhere (helping) cause this.
How much camber should I have?

For the mos part it seems the car i just not made for this, the only other suggestion was to mess with the camber which idk what to put it at and front or back? Not very specific. I also had this problem before new tires so its not that

I have also said i am not where near a professional. is it not okay for me and some friends to do daily track driving? No reason for me to lie. WHatis wrong with my alignment, it is in specs?

Alignment is acceptable, IMO. My gut says you're just overdriving the car.

1. What car have you driven that does what the frs doesn't do?

2. When the VSC kicks in, which end is letting go?

3. What's the outside temperature when you are driving

4. What's your tire pressure. If they're not even, tweak them and try again.

I changed mine at about 25,000 km. Before changing, the LSD did not engage smoothly at all, it was like an on-off switch. Afterwards it was much more progressive, with a lot less tire squeal.

I'm up to around 45,000 km on the car now, and the LSD still works great, so I think the issue was more down to diff gears wearing in than short fluid life.

I agreed with you...it is always better to keep your oil/fluid fresh....
My dealership actually told me to flush my brake fluid when my car only has 19000 miles...There is no way to refuse a simple job where they can make big money....you know...dealership..

OP, are you sure you're not bottoming out the suspension or getting some bad rubbing? You are lowered, bigger than stock tires and that's a lot of load in that corner. Have you tried returning to stock springs just for a test?

I had thought about this bc i never had the problem before new tires and lowering which was over a year ago. But i also did not drive my car as hard as I do now either. DOnt have the money to put springs back on lol but thanks for the suggestion
