the rear should be somewhere between -1.8 and -2.5, I got -2.5 in the rear on my 03.

The front probably somewhere between -1.3 and -1.8 or so. Mine is at -1.5 right now and maxed out.

do you guys daily drive on these camber settings? i drove on uk settings -1f -2r and the insides wore significantly faster then the outsides. just curious more then anything. i am actually going back to stock 0f -1r to prolong tire life. i dont autox.

i have to respectfully disagree with you if the car was just a daily driver.

powerneedy, you're right about toe settings wearing out tires faster, but if the car's a DD with excessive camber settings and doesn't see much corners, then camber will greatly affect tire wear too since the tires will be riding on the inner most edges most of the time.

everybody has a different opinion, my car with stock camber and toe settings wears my tires just like now, so i get 15k out of my tires either way with even wear, so i dont know how u guys drive ur cars but here in orlando the roads are really good. So good luck with ur stock camber settings.

On my Datsun and on my S2k, camber up around -2.2 hasn't resulted in any appreciable asymmetric wear. I keep toe-in to on the low side.

Im completly slammed down I did an alignment on my car a week a go and Im turned positive as I can get with out a aftermarket camber kit and Im at -.7 in front and -3.0 in the back with no tire wear problems. I just bought 18x8's with 48 offset so the camber will help because Im tucking factory tire right now.
