HPDE + Berm + Insta Flat = Extra Negative Camber
So, I hit a berm during an HPDE and popped a tire. Got a new tire, mounted, balanced and have been driving casually since then. Just about to head out of town and realized that the wheel that took the hit has extra negative camber.
I'm about to head out of town, so I can't have anyone look at it until next week.
Any guesses as to what kinda damage I might be in for? It's a SPASM suspension...

Hopefully just an alignment. Heck, some of the GT4 owners that have done that have popped their front strut towers through the frunk lid.

Wow, you blew out a tire on a berm? I never imagined that a normal candy-stripe berm would blow up a tire and I routinely run my wheels up on berms intentionally. Or was it something more funky that wasn't meant to be hit?

Two turns at Leguna Seca have tire killers on the berm. They are visibly taller than the average berm.
