Nothing about that makes sense to me other than perhaps the “uncomfortable” part if running the heat.

Pedal dance takes 10 seconds, saves your brakes, and has no downside on track.

Rain guard takes 30 seconds, zero downside.

Camber will be a problem for PS4S if his 7/10 is fast enough. I know this from going through a lot of PS4S tires on track before and after camber adjustment.
If its a cool day the car will be totally fine and won't come close to "overheating". Removing the rain gutter does take no time though and maybe a why not however Id not run the heat and be miserable for no reason.

As far as pedal dance, this is all preference. Some people are faster with just +R and long press as the car rotates better. Id try both ways and see what the driver prefers.

I feel like this car does ok with not a lot of camber, my tires lasted ok when i did not have camber and the RZs are impressive, they are lasting longer than I would image them to.

You won't roast the CSGs in one day even if you don't pedal dance

So many variables from driver to track surface. The Ridge isn’t too hard on tires but maybe I’m just not fast enough. If I can do the pin pull and get a quick alignment before, I’ll do it, but I expect stock camber to be ok for the first outing.

Most times I find I am on the over prepared side of track prep. Which reduces stress for me. Plus I find the prep part of the fun of doing this.

Personally Id save my time and money and just run it stock vs pins + alignment. But thats just me. Eventually get some camber on the car.
I am with you I like to be prepared too, hate having stress at the track or days leading to the the track day lol

0.3deg more negative camber is so little I tend to agree. Especially with the cost of alignments here. What do people typically do for camber on these cars before going all out on coils and arms? Is there an equivalent to the camber bolts that us 86 folks run on stock suspension?

if stock suspension most people do camber lower ball joints. You get 3 adjustments, stock +1 and +2 ish. And can dial a little more or less with the pins removed
