I'm at OE ride height on all OE suspension and set my rear camber to 1.0*, still wore the inside edge of the passenger side tire more, drivers was perfectly worn all the way across. Toe in spec. and front is double the rear as suggested on this forum.

Keep in mind as you load weight into the car (including sitting in it to drive) negative camber increases and is why you can request to sit in the car at some shops. If not, as soon as you get in all the values you were given from the machine change a good deal and forget loading it down for a road trip!

Secondly, when you accelerate hard the camber changes more negative AND therefore you actually LOSE contact patch (and straight line traction) due to forces being applied to the inner portion of the tire and lifted from the outer.
