Define 'pitch'. Also, are you referring to street driving or track/autocross driving?

I don't 'throw' my car into a corner, because I try to be as smooth as possible in order to carry as much speed and to be able to get a good corner exit speed.

Im on ADVAN Sport tyres, and they squeal like a pig on a stick anyhow, but the rear sway bars allow me to rotate the car better.

I'm currently running 3 degrees of negative camber on the front, and 1.1 (negative) degrees on the rear, with 0 toe all around, and the extreme camber on the front makes the front-end light and unresponsive on initial turn-in. Because of this, I tend to take sharper angles, which due to the caster, give me a really good contact patch on turning, and I usually get all 4 wheels lightly chirping, just going 7/10ths on street.

On the street, I try not to get the tyres to squeal as there are too many unpredictable environmental factors that make it dangerous to push any harder. Hence, it's only just chirps.

On track, going balls-out in a time attack mode, the tyres squeal big time but never scrub, and I use the setup to get the car to rotate so that I can get the nose pointing through the apex, which allows me to get on the power really early and clip 9 out of every 10 apexes.
