Another alignment thread

Suspension: Nitron R1

Here's my current specs. I'd like to dial the car in a bit, any suggestions? I had some pushing last track day.

I was thinking another -0.5 of camber up front, rear I believe is maxed out. Where else can I improve?

Been chatting with Phil at Bimmerworld. This is what I'm going with next time out.

pretty close to my alignment, based on what cook showed.

-3.2F driver -3.3F Passenger
7.5 Caster
0 toe front

-2.5R Driver and passenger
1/8th toe in rear.

i am also corner balanced.

-3.5 would be ideal.. but once i get some more testing in and checking tire temps.. i'll know to add more if needed.

-3.2/.3 w/ 0 toe front is pretty good for a street/track compromise too.

I have a good tire wear and success with:
Front -3.5 camber, Toe out .05
Rear -2.5 camber, Toe in .05

Pic front tire wear after 3 hard days at WGI:

Going to -3.5* could help. I'd do 0 toe up front as well. What's the deal with that rear toe?

Pushing at what phase of the turn? Alignment could help, but it might be more related to damper settings, sway bars, etc.
