Topless is right for sure: with our suspension geometry, the more rear camber that you dial in, the more toe-out you get. This is due to the fact that the rear LCA is in front of the toe link so the more you move the LCA out, the more the wheel pivots outward toward tow out.

With after market adjustable rear toe links this should not be a problem at all as the adjustment range is huge. I have the Tarett locking plates in place of the eccentric adjusters on mine, with RSS rear toe links, and I can dial in whatever toe I want along with more negative camber than anyone would want.

All the true racing slicks I have ever run had very minimal sidewalls (and leaked air like a sieve), so I am guessing that they would want lots of negative camber, so that makes sense.

Sorry about the blunt part, but I've been called worse...
