Toe is 0.
Pressures were measured after I got out of the car.
As per reply in another forum, I will try to get someone to measure them ASAP next time I run.
Using the tire up to the edge pretty well I think, but I will take a closer look when I get home.

With the readings you show, which do seem low, it would seem that your pressures are right and that you might drop the camber .05 to 1 degree. I would try more air in the fronts or less in the rears. Haven't had a lot of exposure to the Kumhos for racing. Yoko, BFG, and Hoosier where the hot ones back when I was running DOT tires. If changing the air pressures doesn't do anything and you have adjustable shocks stiffen the rears or soften the fronts. But only do one thing at a time.
Going to try the camber first.
Following that I may put the .120 bar in the TriPoint sway bar, as the .180 just seems too stiff during cool weather.

How are your lap times compared to the fast guys?
I thought I was one of the fast guys that day, 6th overall.

1.9 seconds behind FTD (very fast 914-6) and , .8 seconds behind 2nd through 5th place, which were all within a 10th of a second.

I've made progress getting closer to that group, and trying to eliminate that .8 second gap.
