Installed this weekend: RCE Tarmac 2s, Raceseng 2" rear mounts, Raceseng cascam plates. Haven't tracked it yet, but it felt amazing on the skid pad. A little lower than I'd like. Next time I won't use the 2" rear mounts.

Alignment specs:
-1.25" ride height
-1.7* camber front
-2.2* camber rear (no LCAs yet)
-7.2* caster front
0.6* toe out in front
0.0 toe rear
Corner balanced at 50.05 on diagonals

So with the Raceseng 2" rear mounts, are you maxed out on the height with the T2's?

It could technically go higher, but it would require putting preload on the springs. Rear preload makes for a twitchy car.

Gotcha, would you then consider the 1" rear mounts, or just a standard rear shock mount.

RCE themselves suggested a 1" mount. I only used the 2" because I got them used at a hefty discount from a friend.

Good stuff. Thanks for the info on actual drop with the rear top hats. I'm surprised you don't have more front camber, do you have crash bolts?

No, just the cascam plates up front. It's aligned to be primarily a DD, with 6-8 HPDE events per year. So for the track, sure, I'd want more camber, but I'd rather not deal with that on a daily.

Understood. I went for more camber even though it's my daily. I guess I'll find out how the tires wear.
