Maximum front negative camber effects

Anyone here track/DE running more than -3 camber up front? Looking for opinions and feedback on improvement or lack of, specifically on our Z4 platform.

I'm running -3 and can go to -3.5 or more easily. Considering adding a bit more to increase front grip.

Currently maxed out (due to suspension hardware) at -3.3 and still seeing a lot of tire rollover (especially Front Left wear from T9 at NJMP Lightning). After upgrading suspension and camber plates I plan to bump up to -3.7 for next season.

Monitoring tire wear, or better, taking tire temps is the best way to determine optimal camber for your car. Springs, bushings, dampers, tires, etc, can all cause differences in optimal camber. For example, my car is running SLR roll center correcting control arms and 700 lb springs in front and is happiest with only -2.8.
