My guy lets me sit in the car too, love it. gets the steering wheel and weight just right while I shoot the shit with him!

Hoping the splice issue goes away on the NT01s so I can go back to them later this year, with more neg camber.
I went thru all these shenanigans too. We decided on a static camber setting (-2.5F, -2.0R) for both street and track, but I still change the toe at trackside . Street setting is 1/16" IN for drivability, and track setting is 1/16" OUT for better turn in response. It's a simple 60 second change when I'm putting on the track wheels, and it truly doesn't change the steering wheel enough for me to even notice. So far my street tires are wearing evenly and the temps across the track tires are fairly uniform.
