Default Best camber angle/degree for R???

I finally got my camber kit on and i was wondering if there is anything better than stock camber spec..

people with camber kits.. Did you guys put it at stock spec or ex) -1.5 back -1 front? let me know what's good set up. .

i dont mind little of camber wear on tire .. but not too much.

thanks.

depends on what your tire is and what you do with your car. For Yokohama 005 you need -3,5° in the front, the Dunlops go with -2,5°, most R-compounds work with -2,0° and for street application on a normal street tire you don`t need to set camber. It comes with lowering naturally..

For street, stock is the best.

I have to agree with this although a little more neg camber helps cornering

neg one in the front won't do much damage to the tires.

have rear at 0 and front camber at -1.

Neither will -2.5º I run -2.5º f -2.0º r, and have no wear issues. It's toe that will have a negative affect on tire wear.

I just got my Omni Power upper control arms installed, set them at -3 front, -1 rear, for autoX. Going to see how it does this weekend. Also got 1\16" toe out in the front, and cornerbalanced, feels great so far.
