    Alignment Specs FTL

    GC/Koni with the front (6in, 550#) all the way down, rear (6in, 650#) 3/4 way down on six-inch springs.

    What's the over/under on how long my rear tires will last?

    it'll last just as long (if not longer) than without the camber, assuming you actually drive to the point that you utilize it. On any car I drive, I have to get camber plates or I will wear the shit out of the outside edges of the front tires.

    However, you should definitely have your front camber set to more than your rear, or you're just asking for some understeer.

      If you run a lot of hard corners the wear won't be bad but if you do only highway driving the insides will go before the outsides for sure. I have closer to 3 degrees in the front and about the same as the rear and my tires have been wearing very even since I reduced my highway driving. The rear toe doesn't help but its hard to correct.

        My car has around the same camber specs in the rear. I do LOTS of highway driving...ate a set of 215/40/17 ES100's in just a few months, like 8,000 miles.

        My car is waiting for Ireland Engeneering camber kits.

          those alignment settings don't look too bad to me. I'd kill for 2.5 degrees of negative camber up front (I wear the shit out of the outsides of my tires). I'd also like to know a good setting for rear toe. I've never had problems with camber wear in the rear, but I don't think I have quite 3 degrees back there either.
