I am running UK spec...ish. Max camber front and rear with 1/4" toe total in rear.
Not an issue.

Thanks for the added info Nick, I think I'll stick with 1/4" total rear toe to deal better with oversteer.
I read somewhere that the ap2 rear toe was decreased, and the CR rear toe was set closer to the ap1 spec ?

This is true. The ap2 rear subframe has a slightly different suspension geometry and experiences less bump steer than ap1..thus the less rear toe. iMO 1/4" rear toe is too much and just eats tires. Go with 3/16 " or 1/8" Total.

^ Oh okay, I'll try to get it in that range then, tire tread life is important to me. Thanks Nick !

With the distance we will be doing, the tires will be done at 1/4" I bet

That would not be good considering I just put on new tires, lol. I'm going to shoot for a happy medium

not to hijack this thread, but what do you guys recommend as an alignment for a square setup if I don't care about dying on the track? I'm lowered about 1.2" (probably 1.5" soon though) so I'm not sure how aggressive I will be able to make it.

is it important to keep a 1 degree camber difference from front to rear ? , I definitely need -1 degree on the front, if we should maintain a 1 degree difference then I would need -2 degrees on the rear. If not I could go with -1.5 rear, give or take.
I'm set on 1/8" total rear toe-in , that is the minimum recommended toe within the spec range.

I feel it isn't important to have a 1 degree difference. Camber isn't what kills tires as much as you think, it's mostly the toe. Camber will only be bad if all you're doing is straight driving, strictly highways. I do feel you should have -2 degrees camber in the rear though.
