I'm in the same boat. Going to try for -2.0 next seems to be the default aggressive alignment for the rear. Maybe a few tenths more or less depending on the rest of the setup.

Dunno what your ride height is at, but I'm on KW V3s, and I'm running -2.5 degrees up front and -2.0 in the rear. And that's what I use for autocross too.

With the minimal power this car has and the minimal squat, you shouldn't need that much rear camber. I wouldn't go above -1.5, but play around and dial in what works for you.

I'm sorta thinking this is what I'll try.
