As you go faster you'll need more camber.

I run around -2.2 f and -2.0 rear with no toe front and slight toe in rear.

Toe will wear out your tires a lot faster than camber I've learned.

If you don't have enough negative camber, you will destory the outside edges and also be going slower. Theres really no winning as you go faster.

I use the third one--"performance street-track use with race tires" with my PS cup's--inner tread wears with street driving and outer tread (wait there is an outer tread on the cups??) wears with track use--a descent balance

Thanks for the advice. That sounds like the set up that would be best for me too.
