From what I've gathered, a lot of people set their TOE to 0, and camber to -1.5. When adjusting to more neg camber, one will get more TOE out. They have found that if they go from -1.5 to -2.5, they will actually get something around 1/16 TOE out total, which makes for a more nimble handling car that will be more willing to turn since you have toe out. Perfect for track setting.

If I go from -2.5 to -1.5 right now, I'll get more toe IN, and more TOE in either direction accounts for more tire wear as compared to the effects more negative camber can have on the tires. Heh.

I guess I'll leave my car the way it is now... maybe have the front suspension adjusted when it's on the alignment rack if I decide to get aftermarket rear lower control arms.

So far, the tire wear looks pretty good with -2.5. Bill decreased my toe in, so that should help me get more even tire wear.
