BUT..... since I spent a ton of time trying to settle on a setup I liked, I drove around without an alignment enough to chew my tread down pretttttty bad. I know I know, but in a way I'm almost glad I'll be able to get rid of these crap tires soon. Here's the current status:

Stock Bridgestone Potenzas
Front: 245/40/19 @ 40-50% tread and 32psi
Rear: 275/35/19 @ 10-15% tread and 34psi

I think you learned a lesson or two about suspension components, but haven't we identified the problem right here?

Dead tires are going to have a MUCH greater affect than one degree or less of camber of fractions of a degree in toe

aint no coilovers, arms, or alignment thats gonna affect your car more than not having tread
