    I've been running -2.5 front and about -1 rear camber. Slight toe in on front (only to avoid wear), or neutral. Works pretty well for street & track.

    If you don't drive it daily, you can go more aggressive -3-3.5 front and some rear toe out. This is all on EG with Type-R springs. Cheers.

    If you get a temp gun and measure your tire temp at 3 points outer, center and inner after some hot laps u can see how much of the tire your actually using and adj ur camber accordingly
    This is the best way to see how much camber you actually need

    Also Pedders on sunnyholt rd blacktown do mine, their hoist is in-ground so it doesn't matter how low your car is it'll get on, they do camber, height adj ect

    Yep, start with something a bit mild and get a temp gun and check tyre temps on outside, middle, and inside of the tyre. To give you an idea I'm running 4deg front and 2.5deg rear.

    Just for clarifications sake (even though it is obvious), the area with the lower temp would be the one not getting enough contact and the area with the higher temp means it's getting too much contact, all equal temps or close to it would mean you have correct camber and (in general) tyre pressure. Correct tyre pressure can be determined by averaging the 3 temperature readings which should equal the temperature reading on the centre of the tyre. If the average of all 3 is lower than the centre temp then it would mean there's too much pressure, if the average of all 3 is higher than the centre temp the it means there's not enough pressure.
