Hi All,

I still have all oem suspension except for some camber bolts and increased front camber.

My wheel alignment settings are:
Front Camber -2
Front Toe +0.5
Caster 6 degrees 12 minutes
SAI 17 degrees 18 minutes

Rear Camber -1.3
Rear Toe +1.0

I am running Bridgestone Potenza RE003 tyres (215/45/17) on 33psi.

The turn in is fantastic but the rear struggles to keep up. With my driving style I found it slightly oversteered before I increased front camber and now it oversteers quite a bit. I find the traction/stability control kicking in quite a lot (when driving pretty quick around tight turns).

I tried increasing the front tyre pressure to 36-38psi and while it did stop oversteering, I lost all my beautiful turn in. I have since gone back to 33psi all round and just manage the rear with my driving.

What would be the next thing to balance the car but also make it faster? I track the car 3-4 times a year. Increase rear camber, front sway bar?
