Good luck because EVERYONE has a different opinion. I say just experiment.

Ok i dont know alot about suspension so clown all you want. i have doing alot of reading about suspension set ups in the last few days, due to just receiving my new coilovers.

My question is how can I not have terrible uneven wear on my tires if I adjust my camber to clear the fender lip?

Can someone explain, even if making sure my toe is on.

I like how this has gone from a tire wear question to recommendations on alignment settings. Haha. No worries though because I wanted opinions on the later as well.

I just have the stock bolts, struts and camber plates so I will probably just ask them to get it as close to -2/-1 as they can with 0 toe all the way around. Should I also ask for 0 caster?

you should not ask to reduce caster

A) You don't want 0 caster.
B) There's no way to adjust caster on the stock suspension or normal camber plates. You actually have to have plates with adjustable caster (there are only a couple brands that make them).

Not necessarily true. If you mount them rotated, you will be able to add more caster as you add camber. You will not be able to set it individually to what you want however.

That's very true, I suppose. It'd be similar to the Whiteline plates.

I ran 255/35/18 Z1 star specs:

front: -3.2
rear: -2

You could see slightly more wear on the front inner tires. not by much, but you could tell the difference.
This was after 3 HPDE's and about 3 Auto-x and 9,000 miles of DD.

dismounted all four tires and rotated. after another 6,000 tires still look like they have about 50% tread left.

Like goofygrin said... Maybe i'm not driving the car hard enough.

My brakes were gone before the tires....
