Where did you get these at? So do you simply adjust them and give them more camber on race day?
Do the Advans respond well to more camber, or is it mostly for race tyres?

Oh and I got them from http://www.wiredspeed.com/index.asp. They shipped them 2nd day the day I ordered them.
I am running Toyo RA-1s, so I can't speak for the Advans. I can't imagine any tire not liking more contact patch in a turn though.

/\ I guess i should of been more clear. I only auto x right now....was thinking of getting aligned with camber plates with about -1.5 front camber and when I auto x (about 6-8 a yr.) i max out my camber adjustment with the plates......
I figured with -2.5 to -3.5 front camber it would destroy my tires...if i had it aligned that way for every day driving.

The most you can get is about -1.6
I have the works plates, and they are fantastic. I'm running -2.5, but only drive the car occasionally on the street, as it is primarily a track car.
