ah leave it to dorifto to explain all that
my expirience, i've tried crappy tires and little to no camber. tried more camber and fooled around
basically im a lazy guy. haha..
so i went all out and went -4. i am going -3 next time and try that. but for my skill level (beginner) i set my car up like this. i enjoy
as far as temperature, ive never really fooled with it. i go to the track, drift balls out (or as best i can) and learn from there. im still new at all this car stuff so learnig a lot. heh...
i just found this setup works best for me. when i start going faster (sooon-3rd gear drifts) then ill have to change setups again. same goes if i get more power...constant change. anyways, works for me and ive never been more pleased with my car then i am right now
oh for the jerking stuff, nah my car doesnt jerk. im able to keep it SMOOOOOOTH (everyone tells me they are smooth-jspec, dorifto, ny_jee, etc) but i am not CRAZY enough (must start...earlier! ) so my drifts are smooth, no jerking. oh i always drift on dry pavement. i dont fool around in the rain/wet surfaces. i like the screaming tires.
as far as stretching, i guess im "slightly" stretched. 205/55/15 on a 7.5 inch wheel width. not super stretched but sidewall is SLIGHTLY (very slightly) pulled.
edit: I always use DUnlop FM901s on all 4 wheels. feels bset for my level and my car's setup.
