Yes, I always observe those disclaimed conditions on the street as well

I'm not really all that well versed on suspension-y stuff. One thing I've observed on the stock (sport) setup lately though is that it seems that I've rolled the front tires over a little bit lately. I can see some (very light) scuffing on the passenger side front tire going over the corner of the tread onto the sidewall. Treadwear looks otherwise normal, I think the sidewall just didn't hold up on a recent corner. Do any of the suspension/camber changes help prevent this, or do you simply need lower-profile tires?

What where your hot tire pressures right after driving hard or track time?

Didn't check, sorry . I check my cold pressures about once a week when the car is morning-cold while daily driving, and shoot for about 35 up front and 34 rear.

Some roll-over is to be expected. Check if your tires have a little triangle marker on the top of the sidewall, that is the limit of where you want the scuffing to go to.

Increasing the sway bar stiffness reduces the lateral weight transfer which will help. Increased spring will reduce the weight transfer in all directions (lateral and longitudinal). The goal with camber is to dial it in to match the other suspension components and driving style so that the tire contact patch is as flat as possible during high load cornering.
