AXs don't warm tires worth spit....even with two drivers.

Last I checked, the fronts were 120 deg all across. The rears were
135 inside-120 outside.

I checked the full range of motion( for camber) at the front before I set the ride height. I can (and will) do a bit of grinding to get another deg or so of caster....it's presently at 5 deg. I can live with the ride height. Raising the spindles crossed my mind, but it's a PITA and $$$$$....better spent elsewhere....like tires.

My competitors are running slicks. I did spring for some rear swingarm needle bearings to match the fronts. It'll be nice to get rid of the squeaky SOBs presently in there. Also wanna get the shox revalved....that oughta wipe out my car fund for the winter...spring & summer, too.

My SCCA AX class is FP so there is a fair amount of wiggle room. I'm under powered, under tired, overweight, *under driven*.....that about covers it.

Tire pressure is a black art that I haven't figured out.....but I'm working on it.
