camber is good, its toe thats bad,
guarantee if the OP took his car to a alignmen shop that uses lasers his toe is messed up.
i run around -4/-5 camber on all my cars and dont have problems w/ wear, u just gotta get stuff aligned properly for your driving habits..
just remember, CAMBER is ur friend, toe is ur enemy..

pics soon, right now i only have my evo/s2000/tl pictures of my preferred alignment.. i run -3.5 all around evo, and etc on toe/caster, -3.5F -4.5R s2000, etc on toe/caster, Tl runs -2.3F -3.5R, and G35 ima set her up to around -3F -4.5R..
camber is by far your best friend, im sorry to say it but when have you ever needed EVERY ounce of tread going in a straight line? never lost trraction here @ 60 acelerating to 90 in a straight line, however i have lost traction in a turn, and thats where the camber helps you immensely. id sit and explain it out but camber is good, you might have to buy directional tires and flip flop them at a certain time to get the same miles outa tires but its worth it in the end.

Maybe it is worth it to you but some people are not looking to get extreme performance and would rather have better tire life with good performance.
Also with that much negative camber your braking performance is affected quite a bit. There was a test done by one of the magazines a while back with their 350Z test car and after going with a larger BBK F&R their stopping distance still increased over stock by ~5-10% because their camber was a little over -2 degrees from stock.
It all depends on what you want out of your car but I would not generalize and say negative camber in that kind of excess is good. To each their own…

alignment is one of the top things in deciding traction, its funny all these guys "must" have these 305's but without a proper alignment setup it doesnt mean anything.
if u flip flop the tires @ half life then you get the same life out of the tire... i personally think its worth it, sports cars r to be driven, not driven around slow not to cause tire wear.

My Tein basic coilovers should be at the front door this week.
So does anyone know if i should purchase camber kits for the front AND rear or will the rear be good enough. I haven't heard of anyone having problems with just having the rears.
