1.5 camber up front is very mild but OK. What I知 saying is if you have -1.5 front camber, it is what it is but there is absolutely no point having more than -1.5 rear camber if you have -1.5 front...

Friends don't let friends run more rear camber than front. It's the Mcpherson strut front that needs more camber than the multi-link rear that has camber gain as part of its design.

You start at fully screwed in (clockwise) and count backwards from that. Don't go past 30. It's not uncommon for it to be possible to keep going.

I think the bottom row of this chart is saying that you'd need a +23 in the front to clear Subaru 4-pot Brembos with 18x9.5.

Subaru Extra MT in that link is a 75w-80, similar to Redline MTL. Toyota LV 75W is thinner than that. My understanding is that Toyota LV 75W is used in all 2022+ GR86/BRZ.

That's great. HKS Hipermax S only have 87mm front stroke and 106mm rear stroke according to their spec page. I feel this would be annoying on bad roads and angled driveway entries.
