I did the same test for the front wheels (-1.5 and -1.6), and it barely made it past the roll.

I think I will probably shoot for something close to -1.2 for the rears with the camber kit (not sure about toe bolts) and leave the front wheels alone.
My alignment specs were pretty much on par with yours, -1.5, -1.6 in front and -3.1 in the rears. Stock specs have a -1 degree difference between front and rear so the guy at my shop recommended I follow that to keep the handling similar to stock. Toe he was able to get in spec.

So right now i'm at -1.5, -1.6 front and -2.6 on the rears. I don't think I'm going to get a camber kit as I don't mind the current alignment and the car handles fine for me. It might be a little on the high side but it's fine for me.

Ditto on the toe spec. It makes a lot of sense since we have the same spec for the rear wheels. Our front wheels are technically the same (10mm spacer gives it an equivalent offset). The 305s are begging for more contact patch since it is literally riding on half of the tire width.

SPCs ordered a couple hours ago... hopefully there's room to make it close to flush with the fender while keeping camber slightly on the negative.
