Ah ok that makes sense

"Will be ok" is relative hehe I guess Ill try -2.2 ish next track day and see what happens to my tires, 2 trackdays (5k miles total) is a bit short on tire life hah.

Well not exactly: tons of folks here run slicks on stock cars either with spacers and/or grinding to accommodate 2.8 to 2.9F camber. At that, the inside will likely cord. So adding even more camber will likely cord inside even faster. Heck, I almost corded inside F with 2.6. But clearly it will be tires and track dependent (to a degree).

PS Zero toe issues with my alignmenmt specs

I wouldn't hesitate for a second to max the F camber to protect the outside edge. 2.6F and 1.6R IMO is a very nice compromise for a DD track car.

I would honestly max it out. I'm maxed front and rear. Front is wearing pretty evenly, the rear is wearing the outside edge quicker. I'm at 5k miles and 5 track days and the tires are just about done, which IMHO is pretty good longevity for these tires.

This. I wish we could get even more rear camber stock though.

BMR toe rods are a must for our cars.

So that you can dial more rear camber and get toe in check?

Yes. You can crank the cam bolt all the way and still keep toe in check.
