If you're going to do more than one or two track events per year I suggest you get front camber plates as there is not enough camber adjustability in the front. The rear is fine.

Take it to an experienced suspension shop and discuss your needs.

Have you sorted brake pads and fluid too?

Depends on the track and your driving. It will probably be fine.

I haven't tried standard fluid at the track in the M4 - others here may have.

OEM brake fluid is OK, depending on how old it is. If old, flush with motul or castrol SRF. PFC08s should be fine, alternatively Ferodo DS1.11s.

How many trackdays? More than 1 per year:

Front camber = non-adjustable (approx. -1.2-1.8 stock)
Front toe = 0, or small amount in (per side)
Rear camber = -1.5-2.0 or max possible (toe will change)
Rear toe = 0.05-0.1 in (per side)

Camber plates help a lot if doing more than a few events. Tires too....brakes too...

That's what I had for my f80. I might have had a bit more rear toe in
