Alignment was done in the same shop immediately after corner balance. Shop owner is a time attack champion and well respected in Toronto.

By "large margin" I mean 1.5-2 seconds off the pace per 85 second lap on fresh tires. V730 is slower than A520, but not by that much. I managed 1.2417 lap after I put front sway bar to "soft" (previous track day's best was 1.24.9-same weather, 2 weeks apart, front bar at "hard"). Still, car felt "difficult". My best lap on A052 and "butt corner balance" was 1.227 (front and rear sway bars at "soft")
Tires are fresh, installed about 2 months ago.

BGTV8-could you please elaborate on bolded out section? Can more bar at the rear result in more understeer-I thought it was the opposite?


Looked over my alignment sheets. Yes, I lost front camber after corner balance
Before CB L-1.8, R -2.0
After CB L -1.2 R-1.6 (makes no sense as L side is lower)
on A052 "butt balance"
L-1.6, R -1.9.

Thank you again!
Are those rear camber figures?

seems like significantly less camber than most track Z's are running.

-3 front and -2 rear seems most common
