Camber affect on toe in?

Question for anyone who has added camber plates. Does taking the camber more negative increase the toe out or does it increase the toe in?

tie-rod attach point is slightly higher than the pivot when changing camber with plates, so adding negative camber gives toe-out

It changes rapidly. I wouldn't try to adjust it at the track.

I saw you have camber plates on your M2. Did you set your street alignment to 0 toe and when you put negative camber in at the track it goes to toe out a bit for better turn in?

Or did you just do something like -2.5 and 0 toe and leave it?
