This hasn't been an issue at Thunderhill or Sonoma, but last time at Laguna Seca I found out that track gives me more front compression than the others. At some of the heavy compression sections (like the dip just before the crest and drop of the T8 corkscrew) I was getting rubbing on the wheel liner at the 10 o-clock position (driver side, 2 o-clock passenger side). This only happened to the wheel at 8deg caster, the wheel at 7.6deg caster didn't see rubbing anywhere.

Interesting.... I haven't seen that happen, even with bigger tires, similar caster, and crushing the brakes with race pads into a compression brake zone. Are you significantly lowered?
