Thanks for the input everyone.

SonicVQ: I ordered up that book on eBay, should be here soon. I'll dig in.

Everyone else, I appreciate the explainers on why this car handles the way it does and why it requires a stiffer front end to help increase grip.

Looking at set up concepts in only black and white is obviously the wrong approach as different cars, different set ups, driving styles all play a role.

After everyone's input, I got the front camber down to -2.2 and added a some front toe in .04 each side. I also added the 10mm spacer + studs in the rear to even out the track width.

Got back out to Laguna last Saturday and the car felt balanced and much less oversteer prone. It actually started understeering at T2 and I had to really try to initiate rotation by trail braking.

As Nismo#19 mentioned, I'm learning to drive this car within its limits.
