Default Now that I can set my front camber without limits, what setting?

The car is primarily a track beater, so I am interested in a pure track setting. My guess is that I want at LEAST -2.5 degrees.

I have been running -1.75 degrees on the eccentric bolts, and have corded one Toyo RA1 well before its tread was done.

Subject to your input, I'll probably go with -3.0.

I am at -3.5 right now with RA1's and 888's based on advice from some of the other spec/cup guys.

It will depend on your setup; sway bar size, springs, wheel size, tire choice. So, what are you running?

Best way to decide will be tire temperatures across the width coming off the track hot.

Firm springs, but weak sway bars. Weenie OEM front and rear sways. 400# front coilovers (Bilstein Escort Cup). Toyo RA1s on 17" wheels.
