Not had any shuddering at all in the brakes - did have a slightly out of balance right front that I could feel on the straight but other than that, all good.

Pulled the Toyos off and put the street sneakers & pads back in place.

Front end may have just a touch too much camber - inner shoulder is getting warn a bit more than across the tread.




This set of tires has 5 sessions running on the right side of the car and 10 on the left. Bet you can guess which one was on the left side on a clockwise track. Shoulder's a tad on the thin side.



Both back tires look good - wear is quite even. Might be a very slight too much camber or more than likely toe, which would explain some of the after apex twitchiness.



Regardless, all good info for tuning. I'll be taking it in to put it up on a lift and play with settings here soon.

Anyone else have GC camber plates? Do yours knock and rattle over bumps and such?

My GC Camber plates are completely silent other than the additional road noise they transmit into the chassis. Both on stock springs/shocks for the first 18 months, and with Ohlins for the last 10 months. Combined, a total of 26k miles and around 50 track days. Same thrust bearing the whole time, but I did replace the shaft bearing when I installed the Ohlins.

Which GC camber plates do you have? How many miles in them and have you had any offs at the track and or do you daily drive?

It's likely the mono and needle bearing are covered in dirt/grime and their articulation is restricted thus the clunks. Best solution is to take them off, disassemble, clean, grease, reinstall. Don't just try to tighten the plates...

My GC plates are noisy at low speed turning. OEM suspension and installed by professionals..

K-Fab, could toe be off a bit to cause that inside wear?
