Default Camber kit questions

ok i got my camber kit in and my progress springs 2.3'' front 2.0'' in back. i ditched the teins i had cause the drop was minimal. now i had a question about the camber kit. when i'm taking it to go get alingment and get the camber ajusted what should i have it set at... i have 195/50r15 on my ride but might go to a 205 not sure yet. i ask because i've heard that having a little camber is good, i just don't want them to be butterflying and waste my tires. And yes camber does waster tires. i've gotten alignment on my integra and a 2.5 inch drop and it still eats em up. takes a long time though.

thanks in advance.

An alignment is only as good as the tech who does it. Sounds like he set it up 'in spec' as opposed to 0 toe; which can make a huge difference when lowering the car.

I think the camber spec for you car would be around -1* + / -
