OK, I am assuming the second number is the wall thickness, correct? Is this the same as the Hotchkis "Competition Sway Bar Set"?

I realize it probably varies by track and conditions, but what is lots in terms of negative camber? Any guidelines or good places to start?

Just out of curiosity, have you autocrossed this setup? What if anything would you expect to require adjustment for the lower speeds, and tighter corners?

Never let the driver work on the car...

Lots = -4.9 degrees. Tire temps show that it would handle even better arount -5.2 degrees.

Never autocrossed this car. I'm not sure how to relate it to the huge transitions in ax.
