#1 Do you have camber adjustment? Because the R in stock form cannot adjust for Camber.

I just had mine done with -2.5 F and -2 R camber and 1/8th total toe out front, 0 toe rear. Handles very nicely in the turns and has definite quicker/crisper turn in on the street, but mine is not a daily driver, only occasional street driving, it's set up for track/HPDE and some autocross.

This is almost exactly the same settings I got recommended by a guy racing an ITR here in Norway, I'm gonna try it myself later this summer when I get my ITR up and running again. I'm also using the car for HPDE's and occasional street driving.

It seems to be a good starting point for track cars with aftermarket suspension setups. It's not too aggressive but it provides definite difference where handling is concerned. I have just installed a suspension so I wanted a good starting point that wasn't to wacky and these were the settings suggested to me by more serious and competitive drivers. Now I just need to tweak and tune my settings when I hit the track next.

of course I have an aftermarket camberkit, T1R and the latest T1R coilovers.
-2,5 front and -2 rear sounds like what I had in mind. 1/8th toe....does that really make any difference?

Depends on tires, ride height, suspension setup, etc. Toyo RA1 need atleast -2°, try driving with what you have now and monitor the tire wear. If you're wearing too much on the outside, add more negative camber the next time.

Last time I was out on RA1, I was chewing up the outside of the tires. Was at -2.5 front and rear. I'm gonna try more spring rate before adding more camber.

the height of my ride isn't extrem, i can put aprox 1,5-2 fingers between the tire and the fender flare.
im running on toyo R888.

the only purpose is to get a much better car on the track and auto-x. okej I can adjust the rear to negative 5 degrees but that extrem isn't my goal, i dont want to change tires every week or month
