Every setup is a little different. The best way to determine your optimal camber is by checking tire temps and playing with tire pressures. You want to see a fairly consistent temp across the tire. The inside will generally be warmer but it shouldn't be hot for example and the outside is just marginally warm. 170-200 is a decent place to start temp wise on most street-ish tires. You wan your tire temps to be close along the face and you'll know you have the camber in the right zone. If the tire is hot in the center, lower tire pressure a couple psi run a few laps and check it again. Get a tire pyrometer or next best is a laser temp gun and set you camber according to your temp readings. Remember with your suspension it gains negative camber on compression so each track is going to be a little different so play with it and take notes for each track.

Try -2* and 0 toe up front. Rear’s at -1 & 0 or slightly in toe. Should be a good compromise (track spec would probably be a little more negative camber all around and playing with the rear toe, maybe a little toe out up front.

Diablo is correct... but this is a pretty good starting point. This is generally the first recommended setup. As you track more and street less... as you move toward trailering a car... you will get more aggressive with the alignment. Spring rates and swaybars will come in to play...

my integra, when it was still driven to the tracks, and basically only tracks and/or bedding in brakes I was running... 500/550 spring rates on koni yellows, stock front bar, ITR rear bar, max caster on PCI arms, 2.0* camber front, 1/16 total toe out up front, 1.5* rear camber, 0 toe in the rear. I had manageable inside tire wear. I'd cook the tires before id see cord, so it was no big deal.

I ran -3 F and -1.5 R on the street.

As the guys above mentioned-- go buy a good tire pressure gauge, a used tire pyrometer on eBay, a notebook, and a pen and get to work!

This true with all the above.
Each track will be different.
Take careful notes of all temps & anything done physically.
adjust slow.
Giving actual settings doesn't always help because of tracks, track temps and you're driving style.

Same here, for years now! With no abnormal tire wear. I believe I was -2 in the rear though.

Camber doesn't kill tires (too badly) until you throw non-0 toe into the mix.
