GTR alignment shim numbers for track settings
In reviewing the thread history, it appears that a recommended track spec for the GTR is
Front Camber: - 2.5 to -2.7
Front Pressed Toe: 0.17 degrees total, evenly split
Caster: stock (what is the spec?)
Rear Camber: -2.2 to -2.3
Rear Toe .11 degrees total, evenly split
Caster: stock (what is the spec?)
The manual suggests that the stock camber should be achieved with a #8 shim kit on the front.
Question for the experts: What are the target shim numbers to be used in the front and rear for camber and caster for these track settings?

Mine is set at -2.2 front, and the sidewalls of the Cup2 tire looks very decent. The front inside got corded on the driver side after a single day at Laguna Seca. I am not convinced that adding more camber will make the car faster since the outside of the tire in my case was in pretty good shape.

Excellent results. I am currently removing the tires to fit the street set on and will take pics. Wear and temps were all very good. Here is a sneak peak for those that want to see the car on track
Enjoy....

Pilot Sport Cups with old alignment and outside edge wear
Old alignment on PSC, check out the outside edges
New alignment, Nankangs, 2 track days, 8 25 minute sessions. Even wear, they were nice and sticky.
Same Nankangs side profile, even wear, they had even temperatures they were happiest at 32PSI hot

Yes. It is a better tire on the track, in the rain and maybe even on the street.... Main problem is that on the street it picks up a lot of dust and small rocks, otherwise I would be tempted to use these year round.
