Likely a personal preference, but i dont think it is required and about 1 degree split F vs R provides for excellent balance imo plus even tire wear. I guess if i wanted a wee bit more understeer id increase rear camber. But in my case the car feels superb. Cheers!

I finally reached the cords on my OE SC3's. They've got 5+hrs of track time and 80+ autocross runs. The insides and shoulders were worn smooth and the ribs were barely measurable, but the tread depth holes in the outer blocks were still between 4-6/32" on all tires. Car is stock with -2.6F and -1.8R camber and I've been targeting 35PSI hot for front and 30-32PSI hot rear. Fronts wore a little bit faster than the rears. Balance is good. Any adjustment to be made based on this? Tire life is amazing to me, just seems I'm leaving a good bit of rubber on the outer tread blocks.

Nice job! I run very similar camber 2.6 and 1.6. I find equal temps F and R is best for neutral balance (35psi hot) with no need to run rears lower.
I have also found better wear with 0 toe in F without much difference on entry at all. Toe in in the R 0.15 total.
Here's a pic of one of my fronts, with slight cording on the inside. I am glad the outside shoulders are this beefy as they get a good workout

Did you cord the inside or the outside? I can't tell with the dust on the tire shoulders. Regardless you have some excellent wear.

You didn't mention street miles. The only thing I could recommend to use more of the center tread that I've been doing is increasing the pressure when driving on the street (45+psi).

These have @4k miles of street use as well. Cord was just a spot on the inner section of the front tire on the left of the pic. I cut into the shoulders to find the cords and it looks like 1-2/32" was left at the lowest point, so not bad :P

Higher street pressures have helped with inner shoulder wear from street miles with camber, so I stick with my recommendation.
