Camber with lots of lowering?

I'm running the ground control adjustable springs all around with KONI yellows. I've got about 1.25" from top of tire to bottom of fender. Probably almost 2" of drop. I will be going lower when I get around to removing the rear isolaters.

Now, the fronts visually have a lot of negative camber due to the
natural increase as the suspension gets lower. What's the proper way to set it? Do I need to set it back to a more reasonable -1.25 or leave it as is? Seems that right now, right before bottoming out I'll still be at the same camber as before, but most normal driving will have an increase in camber, as it's like a stock car in a constant semi-squatted position. But if I set my at rest camber to normal, I'm losing out on the increased MAX camber close to bottoming.

Hmm..

PS, car is mostly fun/hard street driving, occasional autocross. Until I find a cage that doesn't kill the vert's look, I won't be road racing.

well, since i am sure the springs are much stiffer now, so you will have less travel undercorner, so you camber change will not be as much. you may need play with what works out best with your exacty combo. I would set it to about -1* and see how you like it..
