I manually put the front with as much camber as the stock strut mounts will allow to avoid any rubbing issues until I can get it aligned.

So far, no rubbing at all at any corner, under load or at full wheel lock. Lowering the car as much as I did pretty much prevented any issues with the manual max camber in the front.

I will update the thread with alignment specs next week.

Overall - I have to say I'm completely blown away by the grip and handling. The RCE Tarmac 2's with 400/400 springs are obviously a bit more rough at slow speeds with the initial shock, but man does this car even out immediately. I feel bad not taking turns at high speed at every opportunity ... I feel like the car is angry with me when I coast around corners!
