On thing to elaborate on regarding Theo's post:

If you have adjustable camber plates, you can actually adjust your camber and gain toe out at the same time. Because of the WRX's suspension geometry, adding negative camber (which is good for autoX) also adds toe out (which is also good). Dean and I've found that -1deg camber and a about 1/16" toe in (perfect for the street) translates into -2.5 to -3deg camber and about 1/8" toe out (perfect for the track/AutoX)!

So, if you're willing to take the time to adjust your camber at each event, you can have the agressive handling for the track w/o the awful tire wear on the street.
