Default Gwtting my latest 95 ready for HPDE - alignment options?

This car is mainly going to be my track car, I have one more piece of suspension to install then off for alignment. What track oriented changes do I want different than stock alignment specs? Why?

Its hard to get -2.5 camber in front. My recommendation is max out camber in front, don't worry about symmetry between the sides.

Nope, get the most camber in the front that you can and match it or go -1 more in the rear.
I've been running with 0 in the front (max I can get without offset bushings or adjustable front a-arms) and -1 in the rear for a while.

Going to offset bushings and adjustable a-arms this year when I get the car back.
