I realized two things after my first track day:
1. It will certainly not be my last
2. You can't run MPSS with no camber and expect the tires to survive
So after reading countless threads and setting up a spreadsheet with all the different tire options, here's what I've come up with.
Stage 1 (Now, before my next track day)
1. Ground Control Camber Plates
2. Apex EC-7 (18x9" front and 18x10" rear)
3. Michelin PSC2 (245/40R18 and 265/35R18)
Stage 2 (Over the winter)
1. Ohlins R/T
I was hoping I could get some feedback on the chosen tire sizes, PSC2's are very limited for 18" rims. My daily tires are Conti ECS 255/275 on the 437M's, so my track tires would be slightly smaller than my dailies. I feel that the stock M2 power doesn't require a wider tire, especially if paired with the grip level of a PSC2.
My question is whether you guys think I should be concerned about the raised ride height in the front due to the higher aspect ratio? Here's what it calculates out compared to stock 19s:
Front: -.5mm
Rear: -12.7mm
Once I have the Ohlins I could adjust but should I be concerned enough to downsize the fronts to a 225/40?
Lastly, are there any reputable 19" track wheels, or should I go down the Nitto NT01 route and scrap my SC2 idea?

Interested in why you're running 245/40 in front? (vs. 245/35?)
