Now go turn some circles visually measure them to be about 3 in of less apart. if not adjust epa accordingly (make sure it doesnt hit the hub).
Good technique. I'll note that next time I set up a car.
Adding that it's worth going through the car to make sure everything is as 'squared' up as possible. It's very easy to end up having subtle differences in camber, toe-in, etc., that in aggregate make the car not perform as it should. Also, make sure your shocks are filled up and bled properly, etc.
I just did this the other day as regular 'maintenance' on my b4 and, for instance, noticed that one shock needed a little refill and a rear ball stud needed a little tightening and thread lock.
If after all of this, you're still having issues, see if you can get someone experienced at the track to look at your car and drive it a few laps. Sometimes someone can catch an issue that is staring you right in the face. There's a lot of adjustments on these cars so don't be afraid to go for some help.
Sorry if this repeats any other posters, I've not read through every single post.
