I am not sure I agree with this. If you have some good twisty roads that you take at a fast pace, the stock alignment will prematurely wear the outside of your front tires (mine are suffering). I think -1.5 - -2.0 might be about right to make mine wear more evenly while performing better in the twisties and the occational track day.

Also, if you go with the optimal -3+ for the track then you are likely to get pretty big oversteer, so then you need to adjust the rest of your suspension. I'd guess -1.5 - 2.0 would be neutral handling with significantly lessened shoulder wear.
