Thanks.
I ran these settings with the OE shocks and springs on the street last year, with 1 degree more negative camber up front on the track. With a bit of toe in at -3.25° you get a bit of toe out at -4.25°. The change in feel is not at all dramatic between the two. I used up one set of Direzza ZII tires last year (as was my intention). They never needed flipping and they wore out evenly from side to side, so for my use, those camber settings worked well.
I think it really depends on how much track driving you do and how long you want your tires to last. Also, if you overdrive your tires they will die regardless of what your camber settings are.
I may try a one-size fits all front camber (-3.25°) this year, with zero toe. That will depend on how it feels with the stiffer springs. I am thinking that with the expected reduced body roll, I may not need quite as much as previously on the track.
If you have gone to the bother of getting camber plates, I wouldn't suggest less than -2.5° up front.
When I get to the front, I will have a closer look at the effect of changing camber on toe (without adjusting the tie rods). I believe though that more than 1° camber change between street and track settings will result in excessive toe out for the track setting.
