I'd say you need more camber on it, but I don't have the equiptment at the moment to test it (TV, PS2, GT4 all at home, not at college). I usually run my s2000s with 3.0 front 1.6 rear. What hp are you making?

I believe that much camber is way too high. It don't help the car turn any faster plus eats up the tires and hurts braking. I can take criticism, but at least try it first. =)

If only I could. I understand it harming braking, the point of running a higher camber is that you make up the worse braking by handling better, thus not needing to brake as much and also exiting the corner quicker. In what way does it eat up the tires? I'm not sure its been proven that GT4 accounts for your camber in terms of tire wear.

I'm not saying your wrong Im just saying that you should play around with it (if you havent all ready). Everyone's driving style is different and thus everyones tuning should suit them.

I definately believe that alignment setting contribute to tire wear. I did an experiment with a Mustang on super soft tires a couple of days ago, The more front toe I added, the faster the tire went.

After chasing my own ghost for many laps. I don't see a benefit to adding any more camber to this setup. There isn't any increase in cornering speed, this is especially apparent in long constant radius corners.

I usually run lower camber and a touch of toe. That way you end up with more patch on the road and it's pointed in the direction you're turning.

Camber 1.0 0.5
Toe 0.5 -0.5

Then I harden up all the suspension so it stays pretty flat. Raise the spring rate, and lower the bound to match or nearly match the rebound.
