i have found that i don't have too many problems with camber with my suspension setup.. Skunkworks coilovers on KYB AGX shocks.. i have -2.6 degrees camber up front and -1.75 in the back.. it's not that bad.. as long as the toe is adjusted correctly, you won't get that bad of tire wear.. btw, KYB AGX's suck in my opinion.. i hate them and i'm buying a set of H&R coil overs right now to remedy the situation..
