Default 981 Cayman S racetrack camber

Hi guys,
if anybody can help I would like to know how much camber you can achieve (front and rear) on a Cayman 981 S equipped with proper coilover (Bilstein or Ohlins) lowering it by ¾ inch or 1 inch maximum.
Then I suppose that, if adding LCA and toe/bump steer front and rear, you can achieve anything you want…
Also lowering the car 1 inch and pushing rear camber through to the end, would you incurr in a too much rear toe-in problem ?

Would you recommend LCA and toe/bump steer (front and rear) for a mixed use majority street/few tracks ?
Which camber would you recommend for a track use ?

thanks in advance.

You're going to need GT3 style LCA and/or camber plates, with -2.5 or -3 camber front and -2 or -2.5 rear depending on preferences for car setup. I run -2.5 or so front and -1.8 rear right now on P zero's, and could definitely use more even on street tires, but I drive the car on the street too so I don't want to go too nuts.

I was thinking between 2 and 2.5 front and between 1.7 and 2 rear, can't you reach close to that without using RSS gt3 LCA kit ? I am using this car on the street most of the time and I would prefere avoid all corners on uniballs... what about LCA with OEM toe/bump steer ?
