This was before i did any chassis alignement, so basically, the car was too low, had zero camber, and 15mm toe in, it was eating tires like, a tire eating machine!
Nifty little racer!
What's the current config?
A few mm total toe out (2-3mm measured @16" rim)
and I've raised it up to about - 20mm from original height to keep the control arms below horizontal level.
I'm thinking about making some extensions for the steering arms and lower ball joint to let me lower it a bit more while still keeping the roll center above the tarmac :-)

How good are they REALLY?? Heard a lot of good reviews about them...esp at half the cost of r888s
As long as you find the correct pressure for your car / setup / weather I found them to perform great!
I've had 888s before, when the car was stock, and without taking price into account, the toyos are a bit grippier and have stiffer side walls, but the federals are not far behind at all, especially if you are not trying to squeeze that final tenth of a second around the track I'd go with federals any day of the week.
I am interested in the new nankang ns2r though :-)
