My point was simply adding both camber and caster is not necessary for this chassis or the scenario of changing the SAI. It doesn't suffer from suspension limitations like some other cars with inferior suspension setups.

8 degrees of caster is up there with rally cars, and RX cars use low levels of camber for better steering linearity and tracking through loose gravel. Something that is not a issue for cars on tarmac.

It also comes down to how anyone adjusts driving techniques for the setup implemented. Caster levels and rake significantly changes steering feel. If you're making modifications to the suspension to alter this, then changing geometry again will just slow you down and cause confusion. If you're not wearing your tires out incorrectly then there really isn't really a reason to flip the script.
Agreed, I am not looking to change much as my tire ware has been good. I'm looking for that balance of grip and handling. Which is a never ending chase lol!
