Default 0 rear camber pros/cons?

I'll be raising/lowering my crx this weekend and I'm curious what are the benefits and cons to 0 camber on rear wheels. I'll be doing between -1 to -1.8 on front.

Thoughts?

Stock spec is -.25* with a range of -.6 ~ -2.6.
Going to 0 isn't a great thing. It probably looks cool to some people when it's parked.
The contact patch of your tires around turns will suffer.

Front spec is -1.3 ~ -3.3

0* is good for drag racing. Other than that, you suffer in the corners. I wouldn't go as far to call it 'dangerous' but the factory spec was designed with safety in mind.

Unless you are doing heavy cornering or have modified toe settings, then your tire will wear differently, but not any faster.
