Sweet!

Do did you end up getting them from RRE or 500whp?

I got lucky and came across a really good deal on a set of used WORKS/Zeal V6 coilovers. I'm gonna pick them up later today and have them installed tomorrow.

I would have went w/ the buddy clubs if I didn't find this deal.

I know some racers with E30 M3's with Gruppe N suspensions running -4.0 degreed of negative up front.

If you don't corner hard and spend 90% of your time on the highway, then you might wear out the insides of your tires pretty quickly. But that also depends a lot on your toe settings. If you've maxed out your stock camber (around -1.8 degrees for most of us) and you STILL have excessive wear on your outer shoulders...then more camber would do the trick. It all depends on your driving style.
