Spent 3 hours going over alignment again, to further experiment with the balance between high speed stability and cornering responsiveness. I had 12-14deg caster and it was super steady, but hard to corner. So today I went through it again, set 8deg caster, 0.8deg camber, 1/16" toe-in, cos I'm preparing for my first autocross event, and short-course cornering is important.
Went out again after these changes, and it's certainly less stable but still good enough at 100mph, but cornering/steering much improved. I'll spend the month between now and autocross getting used to this setup..

Where are you doing the autocross event James? Sounds like a blast.
