How much negative camber would you advise? No need to change cast?

I'm inclined to try -2.5 front or thereabouts, but interested in what people think..

I run about -2.5 and the front tires look fine in the front from my autocross runs. Going to a track day this weekend and will see how it looks after that.

First I would try what ford performance recommends for that suspension setup.
-1.55 front
-1.98 rear

Absolutely not enough of camber at either end. If you are at stock ride height with stock springs and just swaybars (or a swaybar, as is my case) then you'll want more. I'm at -2.2 in the rear and the last FLIR photo I saw of my tires showed pretty even temperature across the entire tire. Up front, I'm somewhere around -2.2, probably more and the outsides of the fronts are just getting destroyed by the lack of camber. I'm running a front swaybar only (for F-Street Autocross) in the middle position, it's a BMR, and it just isn't enough.

Once you start modifying things, it could go in either direction depending on how stiff and how low you are.

I am at - 3.9 front camber and looking at the pictures on course fully loaded it's perfect.

It also depends what kind of tires you are running. The pirelli p zero does not have a strong sidewall compared to other more agressive compound tires. The GT is a heavy car and IMO the pirelli p zero 255 will get destroyed no matter how much negative camber you run.

IMO for a lowered car on stiffer springs...max negative camber and caster up front. 1 deg less camber in the rear but with a minimum of -1.5 as a place to start.

MM caster camber plates max at -2.5. My afe coilovers have a slotted upper hole with switchable slugs that are centered and offset) to allow extra camber and will get you to around -4 maxed between the 2 components for reference. Some owners slot the lower mount, upper bolt hole to gain extra camber. At the track and AutoX, I run -3.5 in the front, max caster, and a touch of toe out. In the rear I run around -2 camber and a touch of toe in. It has worked well so far.

I will request alignment of

front:
-3.5 camber
slight toe out
max caster

rear:
-2.5 camber
slight toe in

Does anyone happen to have a pic of -3.5 fronts w/o g-forces?
