That all depends on how your car is setup. From the factory you have slightly more rear camber than front camber, and the rear can be adjusted to around -2.0 with stock suspension. It's typically the front that rolls the tire edge the most during cornering, it's the heaviest part of the car and experiences the most loading.

The pressures I quoted are if you have after-market sway bars installed with adjustable front camber. With stock sway bars there will be more body roll and you will need slightly higher pressures to compensate.
