I should try 1 deg neg camber first, how will you get the tyre surface onto the floor with unrated springs and a "buqqer" off dia anti roll bar ?

 

The car will be like a go kart and cross car weight transfer won't allow the suspension to move ! "Softly softly Catchy monkey".

Invest in a practice day at your local track will provide good feedback, go with a mechanic or mate and make 1 change at a time and write it down what you do. Take a camber guage with you or make your own, make changes and judge by the stopwatch.Try and drive constant effort laps which normally means about 80% pace and use the stopwatch to define what effect the changes make. DON'T make a decision on spec upon how the car feels, to make the car quick you make it unstable, that's how you get rapid changes in car direction, the laps which feel the most comfortable where the car turns in easily are normally slower. Hopefully 3/4 of the way through the sessions you'll start to see a pattern which can define how the spec you are changing are making the car behave, then try for some hairy laps and see again how the car reacts and what you can do to make it better.

 

There are very few cars that will run over 2 deg neg camber and benefit from it.

PS:

About 10mm out of the top wishbones seem to give reasonable camber which gives good results.
