Default which camber kit?

I have a da, and I have already decided to get the ingalls kit for the front and back. But now, I dont know which kit with what degree to get. The kit that allows -3/4 to +1 or +1 -1/4 to +3? I am lowered on H&R sports and tokico illuminas. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

I guess it depends on how much camber you want to end up with. If you want exactly zero camber, then +1 probably won't be enough correction and you'll want the +3 kit. If you just want to get the two sides even, but still maintain some negative camber, then the -3/4 to +1 should be fine.

what would be the advantage of having some negative camber, and which would wear faster, having it on 0 or having a little negative camber?

a little negative camber isn't going to wear out your tires in any noticable way. As long as you have an alignment done after making any changes to the suspension your tires should wear evenly (incorrect toe settings cause tires to wear out fast).

The advantage of more negative camber is better handling.

if I got the +3 kit, would it still allow me to have a little negative camber?

yes, lowering your car is gonna give you negative camber which you need to take out with the camber kit......you can leave a little in though.
