Alignment, and replace any worn bushings, if any.

Have you guys come across any bushings prone to wear out?
Seems like this car is fairly solid in that respect even with hard track miles we're coming up on 10 years without any common cracking or crumbling like say Honda's compliance bushing in the FLCA. |

I've seen some crack/tear even at the 5 year mark. It's usually not how you drive it, but where you live and store the car.

Pulled my summer wheels off to swap for winters and noticed my driver side tires were pretty mangled on the inner shoulders. Passenger side was more or less fine.
I ran the car at calabogie motorsports park in August for two 30 minute sessions. I did the west track that day which is known to be hard on the driverside tires. -1.4° camber front with 0 toe -2.3° camber rear with 0.16 degree toe in. Somewhat normal wear? I've never seen an inner shoulder wear on one side only. Photos shown top to bottom Left front, left rear, right front |

I'd suggest you get the alignment checked. I doubt it's set to what you think it is. That's a sign the toe is off or something is bent. While you're at it get the camber corrected.

Thanks. I already booked an appointment to have the alignment checked.
The alignment was near perfect for two years after checking it and now I've had two alignments done in 6 months and it appears to be off again. One in may, another in August. |

I ran the specs below all of 2020 but recently purchased some caster plates. The pyrometer suggested I could use a little more front camber with A052s. I am planning on bumping the camber up to -4.0 in light of that.
What is a good caster setting for a track car on the sticky 200tw tires? Some people say as much as you can get, others say on the upper side of the OEM specs.

"sticky 200tw tires" too generalized. Even within same tire class optimal camber may differ between different manufacturer different tires. But you wrote you have pyrometer - wonderful, that's the tool to be used to find THE right camber you need. Or don't bother if you want to limit spendings/further mods, -3 already is much better then stock 0, and even if you may benefit from a bit more, as you wrote, i guess it will near diminishing returns. And also will make a bit less universal (eg. in wet, less camber is more optimal, due less side-Gs and less tire deformation to be compensated with negative camber).
