Sometimes chunking/peeling like that can be the tire overheating in that area. Are you using a pyrometer? (get one) As you already suggested, more camber would likely help - but you may also be overdriving the tires (adding heat). If they're just peeling on the shoulder like that I'd assume its...
I can get -4 and -3.7 fully maxed out on stock springs. There is a little slop on the actual strut mounts too, so loosening/tightening the four nuts with the plate pushed to the inside will probably net some tiny amount also because you are moving it a mm or two.
Ball end allen as mentioned. My normal 27 socket fit fine, idk. it's a 12 point so maybe not as thick? For 3) are you talking about the smaller strut top nut?
It sounds like he wants less camber for more straight line contact patch, which makes sense if he does a lot of drag racing. Concur on needing upper arms to get close to -1 (or 0), especially with a lowered car.
It makes a huge difference on the drag strip, but likely won't for your street...
Went different direction. Under 50 miles (just to alignment rack and back). Logos still showing. No heat cycles/track time. All four are 19*10 (oe rear fit)
Wheels all have oe bmw/supra tpms and are in good to excellent condition.
These are autocross/Road race super200 tires

Nothing to add to the good discussion here other then I put on a BMR brace today, it took 20 minutes. Kit was good.
Rwense's brace looks nice, and I like the large drain plug access hole on it.
With a free-flowing catless exhaust at sea level...

tailshaft bearing is
misunderstood you. usually tailshaft is used for the transmission output shaft, not the driveshaft. definitely a good place to start
There are more supras on the island at dealers then anywhere else in the country so you have that working for you. Oahu roads and Toyota's allocation strategy+ the state bird being a Toyota Tacoma make for a lot of supras.
strut bearing is my guess. if they're slightly out of whack they will bind then creak when wheels are turned at large angles at low speeds as you describe. you probably compromised one of them on accident when the springs went on, it's very easy to do.
