Thanks! It felt almost too stable, such that I was wondering if EBD was stepping in. There was a tight downhill "corkscrew" where I thought for sure the rear end would come around under trail-braking, but it stayed put. Not at all what I was expecting. Felt completely benign. The nose just tucked in and that was that.

However, as a rule of thumb, -3 is a good starting point for the front on a track car. Lower rates will need more camber, and vice versa. |

Yeah I had a feeling that might be the case. How's the car under moderate trail-braking with the pedal dance?

I got a set of plastic hub rings when I got my TC105Ns. I asked if they would melt and was told that they would be OK. Should I take them off before I do a HPDE? |

We don't run hubcentric rings at all. The lugnuts will force the rims to center automatically. If they're metal, they're fine, but I'd avoid plastic ones.
