Just a quick heads up. On a normal street track alignment (-2f -1.5r) the dsc does not seem to help wear.

I have to disagree... Tire wear & pyro temps on RE71r's given my camber settings (-2.25f & -2.0r) are even across the surface with the DSC. Here is the proof after 8 heat cycles... Really liking these tires btw

Running Ferodo DS1.11s and known to be a late braker!

Oh yea, running Ferodo DS1.11s and am known to be a late braker!
Were you having problems with outer edge wear before the DSC was installed?

No, I plugged it in on day one. While waiting out winter here in the NE I read that some of you on the west coast were experiencing issues with the front being too soft. The DSC intrigued me, and some more reading on the GT3 board convinced me that it might be worth a shot, cheaper than replacing springs.

Are you running a clockwise road course? Looks like the front left is slightly more worn on the outer edge.

My first set of RE71 was mostly without DSC. I am mounting a new set of RE71 and will run DSC exclusively for 2 track days to see what happens.

15 heat cycles on RE71R:

I think springs may actually cost less.

Once you add installation and re-alignment, they are probably about the same

Mine have been on since first track day and my mpsc2 are definitely more worn up front vs the back after 2 days. I'll take pics later.

Running clockwise, of the seven turns, Lime Rock has only one left. If anything the (outside) left rear shows that it worked the hardest as expected

Agreed, as a daily driver in the pothole invested NE, I was reluctant to risk compromising the ride and having to go back to stock. Factor in a 5 hour round trip ride to my tech's shop.....

Rears. Oh and this is about 14 heat cycles @ 15 minutes a pop.

Thanks. The front outer edge still looks worn. What are your camber settings?

Just -2 and -1.5. Stock parts with shims.

I wonder if more negative camber will solve the outer edge wear for you...?
