Default Alignment specs for lowered IS and Tein CS coils questions pleaseeeeee!

OKay, I have the Tein CS coils in my car right now. I used to have 20s on the car but due to fast tire wear on the inner edge, I stop running 20s and raised my car back up. It has been a couple of years and now I want to get back into this and have a couple of questions.

Does anyone have a good alignment spec for our car when it's lowered? like toes... etc??? I used to change tires pretty often because the tires wear on the inner edge very fast. Despite the fact that I was getting alignment pretty often back then, the problem was never solved

Those of you that running Tein CS, how low can you go before you have to do something with the fenders? I can't remember how low I went back then but I remember the front driver side rub pretty bad back then. Can you lower the Tein CS to the lowest without fenders mod?

Thanks all in advance for your help.

I have the figs bushing with toe set to 0. I've got about 7k miles on my new set or tires and so far the tires have even wear.

I'm dropped on bc coils with 1 finger gap, rear Megan arms.

You need to get your toe as close to zero as possible. Then use camber kits if you want to fix negative camber. I only have around negative 2 degrees of camber and Im tucking tire in the front and rear. Its not that much to me so I dont have any camber kits.

You can also flip your tires every couple of months to get the tires to wear as evenly as possible
