Default camber adj ????

GT Track Days at Road America are Monday and Tuesday. keeping up with the c5s & c6s is a real challenge, getting passed to often[maybe it's my driving, couldn't be the car]. I was thinking of increasing the camber by adding a 1/16 shim at the control arms. the question is how much is this going to affect the toe alignment. I'm suspecting more toe in and for the track I've seen here that you should be around 0 toe in. have 'steeroids heim joint tie rods'.? shorten tie rods 1/2, 1 turn? comments requested, thanks TR

do it yourself alignments are a worthwhile thing to learn, the tools can be as simple as a 2 foot level, some string, and a few jackstands. It goes up from there, time to start learning, but a 1/16" wont change much
