Get proper suspension bit to take care of the camber and then get yourself a proper set of tires. I've heard the Bridgestone S-04s are very good for the price

Yes, I've looked into the s-04 and I've read a lot of good reviews on them.
No one ever advices me to get any camber arms or toe bolts since I'm not completely slammed but I'm gonna start looking into those. Any particular brands?

I have S-04's and like them better than the OEM 050's. I've tracked them twice and put around 6k miles on them, I have plenty of tread still. At my driving level they are sticky enough, I'll get stickier tires next time probably. They did awesome in the rain last time on the track too. A buddy of mine has Sumitomos and he was all over the place. S-04's are a great bang for your buck at around $900.

Toe is your wear enemy ... camber not so much.

S-04's are great tires. If you arent tracking they will do you fine.
