As brake fluid is hydroscopic, the wet boiling point is more important than the dry boiling point. As such, changing the brake fluid at least every year is important to maintain it's high wet boiling point.
I don't get PP if you're worried about how harsh the ride might be. They are only making a limited number of PP units. Save that one you're thinking of buying for someone who's seriously going to track days more than 5% of the time.
Thanks for sharing your learning experience.
Just a wild guess, but just maybe using a Track Alignment on the street was the cause of the problem, much like using a Street Alignment on the track and expecting a different outcome.
.1 degree of toe-out is very conservative. I think most of your inside wear is from the track not the street.
I don't see any cord showing but that could be the photos.
I would say the rear tires were a bit over-inflated, perhaps by 2 to 3 psi.
The front look like they've taken a bit...
These cars, much like the Gen 6 Camaro, have very aggressive Akerman angles, This makes the inside tire turn-in further than the outside tire, creating a lot of toe-out when cornering. This helps the car turn-in better but can tend to eat the inside edge of the tire. If the track has more right...
With the specs you suggest: -2 front and -1.5 rear will give you added wear. I would suggest -1.5 front and -1 rear. In reality you'll get more irregular wear from either too much toe-in or too much toe-out. As they say, there is no free speed.
