Rather than ditch the camber, I'd try for the following:

Less front sway bar, to reduce the unloading of the inside wheel.

Stiffer front springs, to compress the outside corner less and therefor keep a tad more weight on the inside wheel.

Rear sway bar, which as we all know will apply torque to the front of the car and keep the wheels better planted.

FE5 arms - increase castor a smidge, which will help as well, and these are stiffer with less front to rear flex to reduce wheel hop AND they're 25% (2.2 lbs) lighter.

Try that setup with -3* and I bet you change your mind. That's my plan, but on 245/40/17 Star Specs (245/45/16 if they'll fit over upgraded calipers/rotors) for STX. That plus slicks in DSP = woohoo! Of course, you know your shit too, so I am curious to see your results as well.
