Are they the same size as the stock wheels, or are you also getting new tires? These looks so good, I may need to get a set, and promised myself I wouldn’t spend any more money on my car.
I will be getting new tires for these, I do think they'd benefit from a wider tire as the rears, it's my understanding that they are 10.5 vs 10 on my OEM performance wheels.

Did you notice a difference in the steering with the added negative camber? It definitely helps on the track, and help preserve the front tires, but how is the feel on the street? Did it make it darty? Did it affect the on center feel, or turning back straight after completing a turn? I know that the camber can change the characteristics sometimes.
After some more time with this setup, I haven't noticed any of these issues so far. Maybe a very slight change in center feel but nothing drastic or problematic. It was great on track, solved all my issues with the tire rollover I experienced last time on track with them.

Today I got a custom bracket made for my seats that lowers it slightly so i have some better clearance when wearing a helmet

That's very cool! Where did you get the rails from, and how much were they?
I could definitely use more space, but don't really need it. I fit ok with a helmet. I'm 6'1",how tall are you?

I got lucky and found a local shop about 10 minutes away that does a lot of work on chassis/roll cage welding/fabrication. Dropped it off for a few hours today and it ran me 175 bucks. I'm 6'3 and In an ideal world I would have another inch of clearance for my helmet but it's already a lot better so I'm happy.

Threw some ExtremeContact Sport 02s on the car and suddenly she's very rapid 😂

Tires are the single most impactful performance upgrade one can make 🤟
