thanks i had not noticed that it said that on the UK site, i will have it modifiedah ok, was confused with this schematic which must be in ref to US market

I absolutely love the the RP-1 one best pads have used in last 20 odd years and have tried every top range pad on large range of vehicles, reasonable kind to disc, dust not too excessive, wear rate is bit on hi side but happy to replace to benefit from outstanding retardation
Thanks for the positive feedback both of youPads are fine no performance issue in that part
I had the same thing before corner weighting the car and installing the wing, the wing (MT-Carbon) has absolutely made the back end more stable now, on the exact same corner it now has a slight 4 wheel slide as I'm able to lift before turn in and feed power through the corner. It's no faster overall but it's consistent and alot more controlled.
Visited today new faster track. Car overall ok and same issues - on longer turns it understeers like pig so maybe need to check that -3'C degree front camber - was there any negatives in terms of tire wear in street use?...

Some pics of how much difference camber adjustment can make to how your wheels and tyres sit mid corner:www.gr-zoo.com
I have to agree maybe all this is needed. Likely taking longer corners as V could also help but what can you do with limited hand and feet coordination ..No, only positives!
(sorry, I had to).
To an extent, it depends on your definition of street use. Combined with excessive toe, it's likely to have a detrimental effect on tyre wear. Without aggressive toe too, I would still monitor tyres closely for uneven wear.
My main concerns though would be in terms of tradeoffs other than tyre wear. Namely, straight line braking, as @MarkoS pointed out, antics from the rear (especially as a result of any significant imbalance between front-rear camber) and what @Onehp mentioned:
And generally a need to be so focused at all times that is unrealistic for street use, as I perceive it.
Currently at - 2.5 deg front and brand new grippiest stock size tyres for road use, I am amazed by how the car turns some times. It's as if it's a shorter wheel base compared to how the car felt with stock geo settings. All this is for when it doesn't understeer. When it does (for me it's usually when accelerating mid-turn), I hate it. But I wouldn't feel comfortable with even more static negative camber for all the reasons above. So, looking into Front Wishbone Rear Bush solutions for antilift and added dynamic camber (by increasing caster), enhancing grip for both the inner & outer wheel. I think @MarkoS reported some harshness at low speeds with Whiteline parts, so need feedback on the two (road vs track) Powerflex solutions, as they really know they're polybushes, etc.
Failing that, I would consider:
- Driving skills course
- Therapy
- Selling it and using the money to buy a RWD.
