-1 degree in the front and maybe -2 in the rear. No matter what u will still get inside wear in the front. The rears will wear even.

It's Righteous_Spec if you try to find him in PM. He's the man for s2k alignments in my book.

Im rocking the UK spec. it feels fine @ speeds but it wore out my back tires too fast. Another prob is my camber is not exactly 'specd', since its dropped. furthest I could return it to was -3

if you run 0.5 and 1.5 (aka stock) and the wear is even, then that would be the best setting for tire life for you. it seems you dont corner hard enough to warrant more camber. when i lowered, i was so low that 2.3 was the best i could get in the rear, then going to the track turns out i needed more.

you can also reduce rear toe, but that will affect the handling. daily driving i can't see why not, if that's strictly all you do. that will reduce rear tire wear further.

i know you just lowered, so get it as close to stock as you can, sometimes you can't.

No problems with vibration. Feels more stiff and responsive, better cornering but slightly more bumpy on uneven pavement
