Does anyone else have a similar setup, and if so, do you have aggressive tire wear from negative camber?

I only plan on tracking/auto crossing my car occassionally. Mostly a street car.

I have the GT3 camber plates and GT3 perches installed with the PSS9 with the car lowered about 40mm, but its a track car with the pss9 bumpstops shortened.

If you are a track novice, you won't need to modify the bumpstops, but an advanced can bottom out the suspension in high speed turns. But lowered that much, you could bottom out the shocks on street bumps.

For mostly street use, I would be more conservative on the ride height and the negative camber. I would guess that about -1.5 neg camber would be good. You will need to watch for wear and rotate tires often, if you don't track it enough to balance the inside and outside wear.
