Well you could try swapping springs right to left. That might even things out. Or make it worse.

Well buddy,

It's mainly dependent on the negative camber combined with the toe that your running both front and rears.

i've seen people cometely destroy a new set of tires in <500miles due to he negative camber issues + too much toe.

The fact that you're running 20'' wheels doesn't help either.

Bottom line, if you want my opinion, here it is.
Get your front and rear camber as close to spec as possible using stock components.
However, get the toe as close to 0 as possible.
That alone will preserve life of the tires moreso that correcting camber.

Toe kills tire life, not camber.

Trust me brutha, i've done enough research on this and a lot of trial and error.
Just passin on the knowledge that i gained.
It's up to you to use it or not.

The rears camber and toe is what i'd be most worried about with your car.
The front, all i'd worry about is the toe angle and end of story.

Currently i'm running -2.0 fronts and -1.0 in the rears.
But my toe is at 0. All around.
A lot of other people will bitch and tell me i'm in the wrong for having mine setup the way it is, but hey... whatever rocks your boat.

As for me, that setup works for me.
It just does.

Please... don't take any offense to my post above.
But if you want an honest answer as to your tire-wear life, it's gonna be crap.
You're gonna need a new set of tires within a year.

Just telling you the honest to God truth.

That is all,
please take no offense.

DRU, although i do agree that too much negative or positive Toe can kill your tires, its not just toe. By the way you're saying it, it sounds like camber doesnt affect tire wear at all, which definitely is not the case.

You definitely arent in the wrong for running -2 front and -1 rear camber with 0 toe, its perfectly sensible IMO.

But camber and toe together are the tire KILLER's.

Hey Meechin, thank you for taking the time to explain. No, I did not take it offesively, mayb just a bit, but I am over it. I do appreciate you answering back and fully explaining what you typed. I will try to go back if not tomorrow than sometime next week and see if they can do any better. Like I said, the only reason why i want to work with my stock components is because the car is leased, an dinsce I share 2 sets of wheels and tires, I was thinking that if i could make it through most of my lease I would be fine, but I wouldnt be fine if I had to buy 2 sets of tires within 3 years, well 2 now. I hope you understand and once again thank you very much. By ther way, do you think I can get those numbers down in the rear and can I tell them to do something about toe. Even if I dont bring it down to 0, can I still go lower? And the fronts, I shouldnt worry too much?

Thanx again all.
