I personally don't imagine wanting quite that much camber.

Interesting so that's on the 'big hole' Koni's you got ~3 degrees with one camber bolt? If that's the case that's awesome if that's what SSC will be capable of, if it's not a camber challenged setup it's going to be surprisingly quick if the spec tire can keep up with the fast street tires (personally I bet it's BFG, they've been trying super hard over the past few years to make a name in amateur motorsports, but I have no tipoffs for that hunch), like faster than a lot of STX cars quick.
fwiw when I was first autocrossing I was running totally stock except Z2SS, Whiteline upper camber bolts and Raceseng camber plates and I was right around -3.2 up front and loved the balance of the car (more camber was too much front grip and I chased the rear, less camber and the front pushed), I'm a different driver now and with SSC you'll be able to dial in rear alignment as well for better grip than I had at the time, but I can't imagine you'd want less than 2.8 or so, I'd start with -3.0 if I were building the car and had that much adjustability and would plan on going up from there.
To put it another way, STX 86's seem to be playing in between -3 & -4 for front camber, and you can put all the spring and swaybar you want on the car to control body roll and they STILL want that much camber. Compare to softer lowering springs and I bet most SSC cars will be maxed out, but maybe I'm wrong.
