I got -7 just by tucking my rear tire. You wont' need a camber kit if you're slamming it.
pics? Did you tuck the entire tire down to the rim?

I dont' have any pics of -7 camber. I didn't even know i had that much til i took it to the alignment shop and asked the tech to tell me how much camber was currently on the car before "correcting" it. I also told him to give me -3 camber, but he said the lowest he could go was -3.5

And no it was not that massive of a tuck..i just tucked the top of the tire:

damn... i don't think that's normal since TJ only got -6 out of his stock adjustments and he was much lower... did it look like you had more than my HRE setup? (serious question, since i aligned it myself at home)

Yep I have maxed out rear camber and I run RE01R which has a low tread rating to begin with and I drive the car 12k to 15k miles a year. I do not go through tires like crazy.

Tire wear will definitely improve with a good alignment in which your toe isn't all jacked up. Just run the factory spec for toe and you'll be fine. I've run almost -3 up front and almost -3.5 in the rear and they insides don't really wear that much more than the outsides. A little bit but the tires are easily lasting me 15000 miles if not more.

I dont know how you guys are getting more than -5 in the rear. I guess I will need to go get mine checked but I would guess I am at -3 maxed out rear camber and slammed.

Yeah it just pisses me off when I see the outside brand new and the inside gone, so to put my mine to ease I flip 'um
You should check your toe then.
