From memory, I have about 1.5 neg camber on the fronts, and about .5 on
the rears. I do not have excessive tire wear on the street with this setup (
I also have 15mm hubcentric spacers in front which I use street and track).
If you have adjustable camber plates, I would add at least one more degree
LF, about .5 RF (most tracks run clockwise). I would not add more in the
rear because you actually would like the car to rotate a little. These are
all baselines, you need to adjust to your particular car/track/driving
style. When I track the car, I use dedicated tires, either Kumho V700 or
Toyo Proxies, RA1's (which seem to last longer). If you have unlimited $$$,
get Hoosiers, a little quicker but very short shelf life. Not sure how the
Ecsta will hold up on the track. I have used S02's and was very impressed
considering it is a "street" tire. Heat cycle your tires properly for longer
life. Let me know if I can offer any other insights.

Iam installing the 2Bennett camber plates on my 95.5 S6. Iam looking for
suspension settings that I can use for the track and street. I know this is
not ideal for either situation. I have Eibach springs, Bilstein Sports, OZ
Superleggeras (17X8), Kumho Ecsta MX (245X40 17).
Thanks,
Robert
