Camber suggestions?
I haven't really delved into fine tuning my suspension before and I'm starting to make a few changes to my current setup. I have OEM Tokiko (Shinka) shocks with Tein S-Tech springs, Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 wheels with 165/35/18 tires. I have been doing some aggressive canyon carving recently and decided to add a bit more negative camber. I'm now running -1.5% and it seems reasonable, but I was curious what other people are running with similar setups for both track and street.

Dude, you've embarassed yourself. You have a zillion posts on this site and you're asking a generic camber question? There is total overkill info on camber. Read, read, read, read.

165/38/18? Man you are on some tiny tires 
If your only doing aggressive driving on the street, then you dont need anything more than -1.5 degrees, not %, of camber. Currently i'm running -2.4 in the front and -2.2 in the rear. But I AutoX and do Track days frequently.

I spent a good portion of the morning trying to sort out an overboosting problem, followed by some random adjustments to my suspension which was out of alignment so I decided to go for a more aggressive camber angle without really knowing what I was shooting for. Thanks for the suggestion.
