Come on, guys. A little camber won't kill ya. D had his at -2 for a long time and he vouched there was no real tire wear that he could see.
My camber is MAXED OUT I think but that's only so I could clear the inner fender when I have the airrunner at the lowest setting. The ONLY reason I can do this is because I barely drive the car. Again, if you commute many miles daily for your work or chores, then of course, I would NEVER recommend anyone to do what I did. But, I will stand by what I said, you don't need a perfect 0 camber if your only worry was tire wear. Believe me, the tire manufacturers design their tires to take a lot of abuse, I mean, it's really the only thing that's between all that horsepower and the tarmac right?
Here's a pic, I didn't even bother shaving anything down, I just took off all the plastic lining... (this is +24 front and back by the way heehhe)

I just dont want to end up in court when someone with a softer compound experiences wear and says "but D2-AUTOSPORT said it was fine!!!" I can speak from my PERSONAL experience, with the Nitto 555 the wear was nearly non-existent, I am getting another set of these tires based heavily on their durability.
