Default Advice for Track Handling Setup - Round 2

Looking for some advice on "round 2" in my quest to dial in a track handling setup.

Last winter (2016) I went with a square set-up, installed SPL Upper Control Arms and moderate camber alignment to address understeer. Throughout the 2017 track season I experienced what I would consider “uncomfortable oversteer”...where I spun out twice and was loose enough to decrease my confidence…which often kept me running with Traction Control on.

I would like to bring the car back to a more neutral handling such that I can regain my confidence and run without traction control. I would almost rather push a little now as opposed to spinning out.

Current Setup:
  • Front: -2.75 Camber; +.05 Toe with Total Toe = +.12
  • Rear: -2.5 Camber; +.15 Toe with Total Toe = +.35
  • Square Set up with 275/40/18 RE-11
  • Tire Pressure has been equal all the way around (40 PSI…taken immediately coming off track).
  • Stock Sway bars (front and rear)
  • The only suspension component replacements have been the SPL upper control arms.

Interested in hearing your insight, wisdom, experience, advice...
