Regarding the fronts, is this -3.7 kind of the standard to fit a 18x9.5 ET22 on the front? or can you get away with any less? I have a set of wheels in this same square size with 255/40/18 RT615Ks and KW Clubsports I'm planning on putting on my car... someday before I die.

Fenders need to be rolled, or...?

On camber, also depends on many variables. Tires with softer sidewalls will prob need a bit more camber, but for a super stiff car (springs/bars) without much body roll and stiff tire sidewall you would need less camber, and need to base it off your contact patch/temp gradient. I'd say 3.7 degrees is very aggressive and might be more of a autox setup, but again, depends on the test of the setup you run.

Have yet to buy tyres as well so there could be some wiggle room there.

Notes: Car is stupid flat in the corners and absolute Nirvana on track (epic track bros: take a seat, this is relative to my humble vehicular experiences). Driving on bumpy midwest roads is tolerable sometimes and makes me want to sell the car at other times. I will be running much softer spring rates in the next week or two since I value getting out and enjoying the car as much as possible and a softer ride should help with that. If I lived in a place with excellent roads I might only change the rear dampers to a Koni DA as I feel the SAs are slightly underdamped.
How/Where I Drive: Commute like an a-hole, 1 track day/year
How long have you ran this setup: 3 years, 12,000 miles, 5 track days between myself and the PO
