Default Alignment settings

Grabbing some new tires today as per mine are cooked in the front from camber wear.
I dont run a camber kit and am running pretty low, and I know its not going to fix that problem with an alignment but I need one anyways and I just want to minimize the camber wear until I can get a kit put in.

Anyways does anyone know or have a good set of specs to get done for an alignment, or is there any tricks when getting the alignment done regarding toe settings etc... to help minimize the camber wear?

Agreed.

I daily drive with -4* of front camber, 0 toe, and no "camber wear" issues.
