Given the stock balance of the car I think you have some wiggle room in terms of how much stagger you can run without dialing in too much understeer.

Sam Strano runs a square setup but with his spring and damper package he likes to take the rear bar down a bit to dial out some of the oversteer. My guess is a car on Konis, any Steeda spring package, and conservative front camber could remain fairly neutral even with 40mm of total stagger or so. Which to me would mean 275 front and 285-305 rear.
i need more time with the car to figure out what I need. I'm thinking 275 fronts, then whatever I need out back. Gonna do dampers first, and see how the balance is then. I think the weak rear dampers mean the car will be kinda prone to oversteer once new dampers are on...

if I'm being honest, I think the car needs a bit more rear grip even from the factory, at least with my skill/attention level. I notice it's not tough to get the *** out with just a light lift, which I am often not prepared for since it rides so smooth all the time....I think a slightly reduced rear slip angle would be pretty helpful...
