I recently went to -3.3 camber. Almost perfectly even wear over 2 days at the Glen. First time ever I did not chew up the outside edge.
2.5-3.0 would work for less sticky tires

The Hankooks wear on outsides edge is right on top of the diamond, so spot on for tack use with these tires.

Not so far. And it's been 4000 miles. My street tires (Conti DW in 255/40-19) are not seeing any increased inside wear with -2.0 degrees of camber. I do not track them, but I take some ramps kinda hard.

Glad a few tips helped! Yeah if you're 1.09 and faster you're much quicker than the average novice group. Much of the instructor group will be 1.04-1.05 there pending cars and tires.
When are you going oit next?

Very cool! I think I'm at LRP one more time this season by not till October.
Patiently waiting for the dealer to repair the axle and then hopefully finally fix the steering issue. Thinking I won't have the car again till August at this point

Blew a drivers side rear axle seal... 2nd time it's happened. Not a big deal, but they had to order parts which took some time
The steering issue is weird. Ever since I bought the car, when transitioning turns (left to right or right to left) sometimes I would feel what felt like something shifted in the steering. Sort of like gear slop in the steering rack. However, it's not felt when turning or when the car isn't loaded (i.e. in the driveway). There's no slop in the steering so I don't think it actually is the steering rack. It's almost as if the whole front subframe shifts a bit. Anywasy, it's gotten worse over the past year. I had brought it in with this issue like 3 years ago, but they "couldn't reproduce the issue" that time.
I've been advised this time though they were able to replicate it, so now I will be firm in that I don't want the car back until the issue is resolved. The feeling makes me quite nervous

Last weekend I had a personal best recorded (harry Lap timer) lap of 3.00.50 around Road America. I was hoping to break into the high 2 minute times but Saturday morning during the first session my supercharger ate a bearing or something so my weekend was over early. Already have a RMA# so the head unit will be sent in next week. My season is over though.

I'm building new canards, if they come out good I'll make you a set for the cost of materials...
