Got my new LCR camber plates in up front, and now I have -2.5 degrees of camber.
Does that mean I can/should start with lower tire pressures for improved grip?
With both me and VK driving at VIR, looks like tire wear was nearly even across the tread - kinda cool to see the pics mid-corner and the outside tire is vertical 8)
I was hoping to play around with it this weekend :(

In the camber range you now have for cornering I would expect more grip from the camber. More grip generally means more tendency to roll the tire under. More psi generally helps reduce tire roll under. Therefore, unless the previous psi was super high to keep the tires from destruction due to roll under (i.e. you sacrificed grip to get longevity), I would not reduce psi.
