Sorry - I was respnding to Batman!

I will try bumping up the psi up fron to 36 on your experience...
I just read an article on Motor Trend online (http://motortrend.com/roadtests/suv/112_0406_storm/) where they put the X5 4th behind the Cayenne S, FX45, and SRX (in that order), which is a little disappointing (The X5 was w/o Sp. package though) Basically, the article complained about understeer when pushed (which I already observed) but also the all-wheel drive system's rear wheel bias as opposed to the Cayenne & FX45's system that utilizes more front tire power to help pull through the turn w/ less understeer... hmm... not sure about that one. (Any thoughts?) They claimed the 5300 lb. Cayenne handled like a sports car!

To those with camber plates: do you think they're worth it overall? I would definately like to take away some understeer, but not with a big sacrifice in stright-line performance and wear.
