-2 square now.
If there is any use trying to make the rears last longer, I will try -2.5/-2.8R.
With just one turn lower than Porsche track recommended height, I already get very slight rubbing front and rear, so this is as low as it will go.

I agree, must be more than springs?
Unless super smooth track maybe?
Right and left rear tire after first session this morning.
Found some time (Harry POS LapTimer didn't work) but the car was struggling for rear grip everywhere.
Left rear, most wear done at Sebring but even with mostly left turns the tire chunked up, the left rear is now not far behind. One more session...

Emotion's setup on my car is identical to another RLister Dan's voodoo blue RS set up. Dan has done at least two days, one a Auto Club and one at Buttonwillow on this setup. He reports no rubbing in both the front and back. Hard to believe with that much lowering. That being said, I will definitely keep a close eye on the tires and liners.

^ autoclub is smooth, BW is smoother than used to be. i wonder if you will bottom out at corkscrew?
joey is really good. did my other cars. love to hear your track run result then i might ship my down to him. will you be at PCA SDR with BW in a few week?
those in so cal with RS should give joey a buzz at e-motion engineering and get the car dialed.

Joey seems top notch, agree with your recommendations.

Sorry,you're right, I need adjustable radius arms (Stage 2). I'm not too versed in suspension architecture/dynamics. This per Joey: he removed shims that the dealer added to get the front camber to -2.5. This brought the wheel back, thus restoring the caster. See Mooty's note about Emotion and Joey.
Looks good though.

As published by Porsche in the 15 Page doc from July.
Not even compensating for corner balancing, followed to the letter.
One turn down per corner from that.

I'm going straight to stiffer springs with low 2 camber and see how it goes.

Went through 3 set of tires prematurely on the GT4 to realize that I needed stiffer springs (especially the front). The stiffer springs corrected the front outer tire wear. I do think that the GT4 does use up front tires, rotors, and pads quicker than the 911 platform due to being mid-engine. I have over 20 days on my AP rotors and Endless pads and the rear rotors look almost new and the pads have 75% life left (had to change out the front pads at 15 days and the front rings are getting replaced this week). Might take me 3+ years of tracking to go through the rear pads and rotors. 
I'm throwing Brembos rotors and RE-10 pads along with Endless fluid on the RS to see how they feel.
