E85 track mods

Hello all! I have an '03 3.0 supercharged that serves as my daily and track car currently. I'm looking for help in finding the next pieces of work that I can do to it to shave off some time. I've taken it to the track a few times now and will be going again this winter.

Problems I am trying to solve

On the track I frequent in both of it's high speed sections there are turns (one is a sloping right hander and the other is an off camber slalom aptly named the slalom of death) in both of these I'm having to let off the throttle mildly to keep from losing grip and I can tell it is close to being able to take full out.
  • I have been looking at either doing an aero or suspension modification to remedy this and allow for more confidence going into the corner but have not found a good solution yet so am looking for recommendations there.

Second is during any chicane or slalom the transfer of weight from side to side the car does not like and will rock somewhat while being thrown around changing cornering direction.
  • Would swaybars be a good option for this or is there some other modification to help this?

Last is front camber, it sits at -1.7 degrees currently and I am looking to raise it closer to -3 which could help with some of the previous problems.
  • I have bc coilovers on it and they have a bit more room of adjustment on the camber plates but the fastening bolts are being blocked by the lip of the shock tower so that is causing issues. Also unfortunately with the camber plates maxed out the car is still under -2 degrees so I need some help if anyone knows another way to increase front camber.

Thank you all and I welcome any questions or comments!
 
I think you’ve answered you own question - you need more front camber. Have you lowered the car as this will give you more chamber without adjusting your top mounts.

I run -3 front, -2 rear.
 
Yes and I'm trying to find a way to get more, the car is about as low as I can get it without risking any more damage. It's on coils and maxed out on those plates already.
 
Not knowing that brand coilovers I would say you might need better shocks. Quality track focused coilovers should eliminate the weight xfer issue you’re describing.
