Default RA1 vs R6 setup on 2010/11 GT3RS

I have a fantastic setup that I like on my 2011 GT3RS -- for Hoosier R6.
But the reason I got this RS is to run similar cars with GT3 DE Cup. The GT3 DE Cup spec tire is the RA1. What I have heard so far is that the sidewall is stiffer on the RA1 than the R6 so the RA1 requires less camber in the setup than the R6. I am currently setup for R6 with camber at 2.75 front and 1.75 rear. What should I change this to for the RA1?

Clarke, IMO leave your alignment settings as is, and use a probe pyrometer to compare R6 and RA1. I have a feeling, as Randy suggests above, that you will end up leaving things unchanged...

nice !!!

Finally a decent and long lasting tire for the DE Cup. Same price a Hoosier R6.

I wonder if they last 16HC or more to match the RA1 longevity.

Don't get your panties in a wad. . It is the same compound as the R888 as per Toyo's website. So it may not have grooves but it sure isn't an R6 much less a Michelin/Yokohama/Dunlop slick. Cory Friedman tested them at RR and was not impressed with their handling or lap times.
