Note that this doesnt really hurt braking as you don't gain as much camber as the front suspension is compressed as wishbones do.
I think the FT86's 55/45 weight distribution is a bigger hindrance to performance than front struts...

FWIW the s2000 has a similar camber curve, around 1* negative camber per 2” compression. It’s not enough, even with factory adjustment.
I was instructing a friend in his ap2 yesterday and drove his car for one session at around 9/10ths pace. The wear on the tire shoulder was pretty extensive after just one session, and that was with the factory camber adjustment maxed out to -1.9*.
