You can get -1.7º...-2.0º with them, and they will surely pay for themselves by extending the life of the outside shoulders of those expensive A052s, even if you pay $100 on top of the $22 to an alignment shop (assuming you install yourself).

Speaking of the A052s, are you sure you need that much grip for your first track day in a long time?
Are you sure your fuel system and oiling system can handle those G's?
I don't know what is the limit of stock systems in good condition, but I've seen one track-proven engine spinning a rod bearing on its second high-grip tire track day.

Stock tires or 260 TW GT Radial SX2s are still plenty of fun on track if you're not looking for absolute minimal lap times. And you probably aren't looking for those on your first track day after a long break.
Camber bolts ordered. Thanks for that!

Do I need that much grip? More is better in my book, but you're right; I don't know if my stock oil and fuel system can handle the A052's grip. I'll be taking it easy for sure on this first time out and see how it goes.

Late note add if it makes any difference, I'm running my car on an e85 OFT tune. I'm bringing a few extra fuel cans with e85 as it's a bit rare between my house and the 180 trip to the track.

Thanks for inputs, keep them coming. Just three days left before I head out!
