How much camber here?
This is a rear tire.
Notice the outside is wearing FAR faster than the inside. Not just the shoulder, but the whole outer section of tire. I've rotated sides for this tire also. Current Camber -3.0 front -2.0 rear How much additional rear camber would be recommended here?

What do you have for toe in the rear? The eccentrics for the toe adjustment are known to slip and cause a lot of wear. This has been documented to happen to a lot of owners, including myself. You already have a fair amount of camber in place that many others have used with no issues. You may want to have an alignment done to check the toe as it's a common culprit for that type of wear.

I have -2 front and -1.5 rear my wear is much more even with 3 track days and about 3k street miles on the tires. How many track days and street miles do you have on this tire?

When I was at -2, it was about like that. I'm at -2.5 now and there was a significant difference with rear tire wear with that change.

4 track days, driving to the track is the miles. So maybe a thousand miles off track. I see you're Michigan! Do you have a Gingerman Lap time?

On a related topic, how much camber for a ZL1 setup to drag? What is the stock camber?

Agreed, that's a nice jump up and with the toe arms you have eliminated the biggest unknown so an extra 0.5 all around should help.

You don't need more camber. The tread grooves are shallower on the outside of the tire, but there is still plenty of rubber.
