Great update to this thread!

I'll throw in my 0.02.

I also have Vorschlag camber plates. I am running -2.8 with 0 toe in the front and -1.8 and slight toe in at the rear with the M3 convertible front sway bar. I have found the car to be perfectly neutral, the understeer is gone and oversteer is really easy to control. At these settings, (and here is the important point to me!) I have perfectly even front treadwear on Bridgestone RE71R's which have seen 3 autocrosses, 1 track day, 4000 street miles and are probably just over 1/2 way through their lifespan. In the rear, I am wearing in the inner a little more, so I would not want more camber there. It looks like all 4 tires will be used up at the same time (I don't do many burnouts!)

So . . . going to a square setup for me with this mix of use would result in oversteer. I would either have to decrease front camber, which would get me back to excessive front outer edge wear, or I would need more negative camber out back which would worsen the MINOR rear inner edge excessive wear I am seeing now. Or I could ditch the FSB. I would be able to rotate the tires, and would probably have to, but right now there is no need.

I plan to install Ohlins R+T this winter, so my set-up will be pretty close to DCPLN.

Speaking of DCPLN, we should meet up at Paradise or Sunrise sometime!
