Wait, your camber is at -2.5 all around but you want less? -2.5 is no problem, actually the RS3s like tons of camber in order to get max grip out of them. If they got the toe lined up with that camber, you are good to go.

Driving on tires kills tires.
Think about it this way, running the correct amount of camber can allow you to get the most life out of them. Running too much or too little will prevent you from getting the most use out of them.
Toe will wear tires due to constantly scrubbing and this scrubbing increases the wear rate drastically depending on the amount of toe in or toe out.

I drive daily on -3.5 camber. It's toe that kills tyres not camber in my opinion

You are entirely incorrect. Any of the 3 alignment adjustments being out will cause wear. If you are unaware of how the steering and suspension systems function within a car that are multiple websites that you can visit that will explain it to you.
Actually, in my experience, he's right. Your toe being off will kill your tires a lot faster than the camber will. Poor toe settings can kill tires in as little as 300 miles if very extreme.

Except he never said toe kills tires faster... He said camber does not kill tires (in his opinion).. Which makes his opinion false

Thank you for pointing that out but I think u and just about Everyone in this thread knows exactly what I meant.

That is probably the one that he was talking about. I am going to try one more shop on Monday. He says he does race cars and drag cars and he has seen it all so we will see. Hopefully he can get the job done. I just dont understand why it is so hard for me to get it aligned, there are so many lowered cars around here, wayyyy lower than mine, maybe they never got an alignment but i know some of them were getting it done somewhere, maybe i found the place.
Thanks for the help i will definitely keep an eye on that bushing to see if the next guy says something about it.

Go for 2.5 deg front and same for the rear
Zero toe in front
Max caster
Rear toe in total 1/8th of an inch
This will give pretty decent tyre life and handling should be good. Keep your pressures up above 34 cold and do cross rotation every 6-7k miles or so.
U should do well like that
2.5 deg camber is ok for your tyres, don't get too worried.
