This is starting to finally make sense. Even if you are doing high speed high perf driving, you should still be able to get even wear if the car is set up.

If you do a combination of street and DE driving with stock suspension, then you may be able to get -1 deg camber in the front and around 1.2 -1.5 in the back. This is good for summer tires and more beginner level DE driving, and not appropriate for R-compounds and experienced drivers.

If you are going all out, R compound tires, then you need more camber to work with the extra grip or else you will cord the outer edges of the tires (like from the picture in thstone's thread before he got the GT3 control arms)

I am still a long way off from suspension mods and R-comps so I will stick with summer tires (max or extreme) and maxing out the neg camber on my stock suspension and revisit once I feel the car is holding me back from better performance.
