Meh, don't let these guys scare you. Put a set of LCAs on the car with a real track alignment and drive it however you want. Colleen daily drives Sparkles and it's a plenty capable track car with a TPC suspension yet refined enough to take to dinner. We run a set of RE-71R (200TW tire) that have seen a few dry and wet sessions this year, but mostly see street miles and long drives to tracks (1000's of miles alone) and have tons of tread left. The scrubs we run last us 6 days or so depending on the track and sessions. Good wear pattern.

I'd also recommend you watch the understeer. Not managing the understeer on the car is a great way to destroy the edges of the tire regardless of setup. Not saying that's what's happening as I wouldn't know, but something to watch nonetheless.
