I concur with lower 30's PSI Hot for NT01s.

Hopefully the morning lows will cooperate as 26-28 is great when it is > 50F but have started at 32 when it was just above freezing. Check and bleed off as needed after a session or come in and check if they start to feel squirrely.

Also I prescribe to the Brad Roberts alignment, no toe front or rear. That's in SPB form and yes I like it a bit twitchy.

Rear Toe-in vs Toe-out

I remember that before aligning my car, the first question Steve Alarcón (local specialist) asked was "which track are you running?" Then.. he would recommend the rear toe.

If I remember correctly to be stable at high speed (Willow Springs) you want a bit of toe-in or '0' and if you were running a quick track (Streets of Willow) he would dial even a bit of toe-out to help you rotate.

Again, this was a few years ago and my memory may be wrong..

I like 34psi hot all around with NT-01. When I get down to 32 I do get a bit of shoulder rollover with my car. It is a full weight street Cayman so that probably matters.

ST-43 are ridiculously noisy until the 1st track day. Once you get them fully hot they settle down but will always squeal a bit when cold. Still my favorite pad for dual purpose, long life, good modulation, great heat management.
