I'm not stock. A lot of SPL parts. Bigger sway bar. Bigger rear tires. Very little understeer when driving 9/10's on the track. Wondering what it will be like with the OS Giken LSD. Here's my settings.

Alignment;
Front, -2 camber, +7 caster, 1/16" toe in
Rear, -1.75 camber, 1/16" toe in.

Thanks Rusty. I was considering going the Meaty route but was mostly concerned about the understeer. I too have almost all of the SPL parts, and exactly the same alignment as you, only thing missing is a heavier Front swaybar.

How will these meaty tires work for spirited driving and canyon carving?

You won't have a problem if you use good tires. PSS's and the like. And don't drive above 8/10's on the street. If you get understeer on the street. You're running to hard.

No understeer issues here. It loves canyon roads. The only time I have had any understeer is when I was pushing to hard on the dragon and got the fronts too hot. I had to back off a little bit.

Can one safely fit 325’s on rear sport wheels? Sorry haven’t read through entire thread yet. At the tire shop and checking out my options.

Nismo wheels, YES, Sport wheels, NO. too narrow.

Thanks Spooler. I ended up grabbing the 325s the shop had in but will be mounting them on another set of wheels that’s wider. Also ordered some new 275/35s Bridgestone S-04s for the fronts. Can’t wait to see the new wheels finally getting mounted. The 325s are massive!

Once you go meaty. Everything else is small. :rofl2:

I have the 285 fr and 325 rear RE11 tires on Nismo wheels. Be advised, no agressive driving when the temp is below freezing. I have now spun mine out twice in the very cold dry temperatures. They are one year old. Installed Jan 2017.

Guess I am a slow learner, but this car handles very differently with RE-11 tires in sub 32 temps, even after driving for 30 miles...

I drive on mine all year long. Below 40 deg, they can be fun. Don't get crazy in those temps.

Guess you're a little slow on the up take. You spun once and didn't learn your lesson. You had to do it again. :rofl2: Glad no one was hurt.

Yea... car went to the body shop yesterday to get the front facia replaced...from excessive curb contact. Wheel liner, headlight, washer bottle, etc...

Basically, a $1000 mistake on my part, insurance duductable.

That's a lesson you won't forget anytime soon.

So, I am 50 yrs old and been racing and building cars my whole life.

I have lenghty experience in cars that run over 160 mph.

The first spin out, I wrote off to me just being behind the car, while pushing it.

This weeks curb attack caught me totally off guard, and could have been serious since it was during rush hour - in interstate traffic.
