Rear also don't look bad at all. I am not sure if I included the pictures before or after we did -1.6 camber so I will take some more pictures. Even with the 325s it only sticks out a little bit. I could get some good quality adjustable toe links in the future if I want to add more camber without losing the toe in on rears but at this point it doesn't really bother me

If you want you can do the same and slightly add more camber and call it a day with the above solution.

Which modifications are you referring to btw? I have included most of them here on this thread

Yesterday's event at the Ridge (RMP) was very crowded so I couldn't get enough time to improve my previous best lap. However, car felt better with additional camber

I did my best lap after the warm up lap and -as you can clearly see in the video- I forgot to hit the "define finish lap" or "start recording" sorry for the shaky video
Without the miss-shift and/or few more laps I believe I could've seen 1:52s easily

Man the 1LE looks like it's ready to eat the tiny Caterham! Great pictures.

No rubbing with the tires sticking out past the fenders?

Glam, did you go with camber plates? It is time for me. I ate up a brand new set of tester Hoosiers in 4 sessions. It's going to be a challenge getting past the -2.0 I have now as I already had to grind the strut. But I'd like to be able to run A6's for competitions and I just cant afford to throw out $1600 after 3 - 4 sessions. That was brutal. This car will need -3.0 to survive the outside edges.

Sure, Hoosier recommends -3.0 camber for the R7s. Do you have the stock wheels?
This is what's been done to my front suspension (photo credit : Provoste). Basically my mechanic extended the upper camber bolt hole to give a bit more camber up front. I am now at -2.9 camber up front and -1.6 at the rear:

Update: Decided to install the DBA rotors before my track event tomorrow. I've used the OEM rotors for about 6 events and figured it would be better if I just keep them for the future or as a spare.

I also replaced the pads with a bit more aggressive compound (ST47 F / ST45 R)

Will report back

Decided to try ST47 F / ST 45 R compound this time , since I was going to replace the front rotor rings anyways.

ST43s after 6 event still look great, I will keep them as a spare

Since the oem wheels are gone, I also ordered some 18" Apex wheels to be used with slicks. Apex 18x10.5" +22 F / Apex 18x11" +25

I will see how they fit

Very cool. I look forward to your feedback on the pad compounds. Also, the low wear on those ST-43's is nothing short of remarkable.

Keep me posted on the pads and the 18s... I'm still weighing my options on both pads and tires.

Might even be interested in the ST43s if you want to sell them.
