My experience corroborates this- In the last session last weekend, I was 1.2 seconds down on my best time at NCM MSP until I hit traffic in the last corner.
The RE71R frinction circle reminds me of NT01's, plus... they're insanely good in the wet. I REALLY wish Hankook made a 295/30 RS4.

I posted this in somewhere but not sure if in this thread, sorry if it's a repost. They tested them against each other and found the NT01 and Rivals faster than the RS4s:

Pads- I'm just done with my first set of front Hawk DTC 60's. I'll be ordering a new front pad set for the Glen. I also used the factory pads on track for a couple days, they're at about 50%.
That's awesome that you could get that much of camber up front, mine fronts maxed out at -2.4 and it looks like I will have to wait till I get my Multimatics to see ~-3.0 camber (will probably run -2.0 in the rear).
