Can someone give me the rear and front camber specs that I can request to get the most life out of my tires? I have eibach springs with koni fsd shocks. 20*9 in the front and 20*10 in the rear.

First off nice mod with the drop. Second don't follow stock specs on negative chamber if you want to preserve tire life. I had -1.2 front and -2.2 rear and it eat up my last tires in two seasons. Around 8,000 miles. So even tough I was within oem spec my tires still whore out fast due to my drop on coilovers. With my new set of tires and wheels I had my alignment guy do -.6 front and -1.2. Make sure you adjust toe as well. I've been checking my tires and the wear on them looks nice and even. Some might say your going to loose handling performance but it's not that big to notice. I still whip turns on ramps at 50 or so without any issues.
