Decided to give the new setup a test at the Autocross.

Here's a video of my quickest lap: (sorry about the wind noise!)

Looking at the SoloStorm data, I probably could have knocked off another .3-.4 (the second half of this run wasn't my best).

The balance of the car with the square setup and camber on the front is so much more enjoyable to drive! This is how the car should come from the factory!
I ran 33psi front, 36psi rear.
Tires felt really good. We got 6 runs, and it was over 90 degrees, and the tires never felt greasy or overheated. So I think that's a pretty good sign that these tires are going to be a more durable trackday tire. Wear on the shoulders was not bad at all either:

Also, despite the minimal clearance to the shock, I didn't see any signs of the front tires rubbing on the shock body, so should be good there.

SoloStorm data had lateral G's topping out in the 1.1-1.2 range (It's just using the phone accelerometer, so take that with a grain of salt). Also this particular lot isn't the grippiest as it's an asphalt lot and typically a little dirty/gravelly.
