Does anyone have thoughts on dealing with the "ring of death" inherent when running Type A slicks on the M03? I darn near burned through a new set of type A slicks today. (About 30 minutes run time, on carpet!)

I'm using the stock, solid upper links on the front and the camber is a bit much. I ran S grips for over 6 months without any sign of trouble, but the A slicks just get cooked. Adjustable uppers might be a solution, but what happens to front grip if the camber gets dialed out?

I've set the toe as neutral as I dare. My thinking right now is that with my car riding as low as it does, I'm getting too much camber gain when the car compresses.

Thoughts?
