Also, this car suffers massively from being nose-heavy, so negative front camber is fricking crucial to get any kind of decent balance. -1.5 front camber is a step in the right direction but not nearly enough to balance the car.

For anyone who finds this understeery car to be too spinny with a mere 1.5deg front camber, I recommend a LOT more track time.
From other conversations here, -1.5 is about the max you can get with the crash bolts, correct?

I wouldn't mind doing a few minor things to improve the turn in and handling of the car but I'm not too keen from straying very far from stock, i.e. camber plates etc. Going with -1 ~ -1.5 sounds like it would be a nice improvement.

What does that much negative camber do to your tire wear? Or do you care?

I guy I know in our autocross region runs -3 on his ATS and he chews through tires pretty quickly, even with fairly frequent rotations.
