What are your tire sizes? What tires? What pressures?

Are you trail braking into the turn or getting all your braking done before?
I'm braking very hard before the corner. Please explain trail braking. I've asked this from a few others and get different answers.

Front tires are Nitto Drag radials in 205x45r15. Running 36-37#. Rears are Hoosier R6 in 205x50r15 running 28#. They do well in faster corners, but push in the slow ones.

If there is too much negative camber, the contact patch is much smaller until the car leans which should flatten it out. That's what I meant by too much camber. If the car doesn't transfer enough weight and lean in a slower corner, the tire won't flatten out.
