On the freeway there's little change. It's no longer dying to go straight forward all the time, but there's not enough toe-out to make the car darty by any stretch of the imagination. Defiantly acceptable for daily driving.

Steering input at lower speeds seemed to lightened up with the new alignment, about back to where it was before I put 245's on the front.

As for tire wear, it was every bit as hot this weekend as it was last month - my front tires last month showed over 200 degrees internal temperature, this time they didn't get over 165. In fact when we'd been working the car quite a bit, both the front's and rears were within 5 degrees of each other (instead of the gross imbalance we saw last month)
Sounds great - never thought about it before, but the fact that the tire temps were consistent is probably a really good empirical indication of the car's overall balance when pushed hard... very encouraging
Are you running a square set-up with 245s all around?

What is this exactly? I have heard of the OE -30min front knuckles (which add -0.5 degrees of camber) - is this what you did as well, or something else?
