This year, I'll have to run the inserts in the front Konis and I'll probably lose about a degree of negative camber. I obviously haven't had a chance to try it that way yet, but my guess is I will still get some oversteer on corner exit.
From the factory, BRZ's understeer (typical Subaru) whereas the FRS has a bit more rotation. The TRD springs are "apparently" the same spring ratio when compared front to back, so the handling characteristics should be similar with the TRD's vs stock on the FRS.
I've always run 0 toe on my cars, but if I still have excessive oversteer on corner exit, I may try a hair of toe-in in the rear.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. A little bit of oversteer on corner exit is nice, I can get the car pointed in the right direction. I rather have that than the push I was getting on my BRZ. I think the stiffer springs and sways will help neutralize the car a bit. Hopefully it doesn't get too loose during the slaloms. I think my BRZ was well balanced there.
First event in the car is this weekend, but looking like its going to rain
