IDK about lowered S550s, but stock height S550s will want more than 1.7 up front for track use.

With a laser temperature gun or (preferably) a tire pyrometer you can fine tube your camber so that the inside and outside edges of the tire are the same temp after lapping at the track. Without that data you can guess at it by checking the wear indicators on the sidewalls of your tires, but those are also affected by tire inflation pressure. Temperature is more reliable.

If the outside edge is hotter than the inside edge, add negative camber. If the inside edge is hotter, remove camber. If the center is hotter than the edges, lower tire pressure. If the edges are hotter than the center, raise tire pressure.
Reasonably lowered cars on handling-focused rates, as mine is, for instance, see about a 30-40% reduction in roll angle vs. stock. You could probably get away with -1.5-2.0 given that reduced roll and the decreased camber regression on the outside tire that comes with.
