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.

Yeah, and you'd be lucky to get -1.5*. Think I had -1.3* with just crash bolts. If you aren't constrained by class rules, I'd go with one of the cammed camber bolts. You'll be able to get a little more out of those.
As far as tire wear, it's negligible, especially if you do any type of performance driving. On my Camaro I had before the BRZ I was running about -3* and was still wearing the outside edges the fastest. On my daily tires, I never really noticed any significant camber wear. On the BRZ I'm running -4* up front, and finally not chewing up the outside shoulder of my autocross tires. I imagine it'll shorten the life of my daily tires by some amount, but doubt it will be enough to outweigh the additional life I get out of my autox sets.
