Default Aggressive alignment

Hi,
Attached is the DSC sport full track recommendations. Has anyone tried anything a little more agressive or recommend anything else or is this the cream of the crop?

Car is a track only car on Hoosier A7s.

I'm pretty close to the full track settings and I drive on track and street. I'm still getting good wear on the tires. If you're doing the alignments yourself it would pay to try their track settings and then add maybe -.5 to it and see if it helps. As wide as our tires are I'm not sure how much it's going to help but I think it's probably worth a shot.

I'd recommend going to -3 at the fronts, especially with those tires. I also keep the front toe at 0, but I suppose it depends on what you like.

DSC alignment recommendations are just that, recommendations. You can't just have one alignment spec that would work best on all setups/tires. As such, don't take it as gospel.

I agree and also think an alignment that is good for one driver may not be optimal for another driver. That means some experimentation.
