Hi Scott,

If I were you, I would measure the pickup points for your suspension, both front and rear and plot the camber curves. This will give you a good baseline to determine static settings. (1 degree negative in the rear sounds high to me as a static setting.)

Also, I recommend that you get on a skidpad. Steady state cornering will give you much better temp readings than at a track. Just do 5 or 6 laps on the pad and check temps. This will give you very good info about your camber settings and guide you to optimum camber setting for cornering.

After you have this sorted out, you can than start on damper rates.

I hate to tell you this, but per our conversations, you need to work on the damper rates.

It is obvious that your bump settings in the rear are too soft. (Your front rebound settings could also be too soft.) I think that a good part of your rear tire wear and tire temp is a result of too rapid squat under acceleration.
