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.
