No need to apologies mate. If I had unlimited funds then they wouldn't be my first choice but I run to a budget. If I went for something better and twice the cost then I couldn't afford other things.

Will look at adding more camber for the next track (Fontenay Le Comte) next month and tweak the dampening settings. Thinking about keeping the ARB on hard and putting the rear on hard too.

I also need to setup my front shocks properly as I think the preload is out.

My mate isn't coming to the next one but he will be coming to Le Mans (Maison Blanche and Bugatti circuits) in August so will see if he can take me out then and show me where I am going wrong.

He drives a 2004 Civic Type R which has been setup so well, he keeps up with the M3's and GT3's unless there is a straight that is more than 120mph. This is partly the car and partly his skill.

Change those two things before your next track day and let us know how you get on.

Also rotate the front and the rears after each day.

I had 30psi and -2.25 camber on the rears and they were wearing ok but upped the psi to around 32/33 and they were wearing perfectly.

Maybe the more camber you put in, the less pressure you need in the tyres?

Yeah, going to rotate them this time.

Unless you are running high camber chances are you are just not working e tyres evenly or near their potential. They may be a cheap options ith Worn slicks but not necessarily a good option.

Only way of telling is by getting pyro readings on re temps across the front and rear tyres.
