Looks like you're overheating and getting more wear on the outer edge as well. Whats your camber and psi?

You'll also be happy to know I splooged brake fluid out of all my calipers this day, lol.

Hot psi matters more than where you start. Factory camber is set for tire longevity so you would benefit from another 1 to 1.5 and then go a couple days and see how the tire likes it.

I thought about that, but an alignment is $150.00, then it would be another $150.00 to put her back to street specs.

Thats why I did camber plates but every company making them went tits up. Must be the camber plate curse. I go from -1.2 to -3.25ish by jacking up one side and loosening/tightening 4 bolts per side.

Is that tire a 285 on a 10" or 11"? It's difficult to effectively use an entire 285mm tread on a 10" compared to an 11", so camber/pressure changes merely just shift wear from one section of the tire to the other, especially on a dual mode tire like the Supercar(inner rain grooves, fat outer tread blocks).

Pfadt had a part number for stock springs and coilovers. +/-1deg
Pedders had a part number for coilovers. -2.5deg or +1.5deg

Detroit speed and Ridetech has some degree of camber adjustment built into their coilover upper mounts. The springs in the ridetechs were too soft for road course use according to JDP so they're getting a different rate put in. DSE I haven't really seen anyone use.

Spend $4500 and get a "free" camber plate. LOL. Their track setup is $6185. I'm too poor for that.

Jordan is running the Detroit Speed coilovers right now on his Camaro...I agree that $6k is too steep a price...
