Remember, toe scrubs the tires as you are going down the road. Unless you are tracking your car DAILY you want to minimilize the amount of toe you have. As for the rear, a little toe out is ok due to the amount of acceleration that your car has it will flex your drivetrain in causing the tires to naturally toe in, so a little out is ok. the camber i have at -1.8 and had fairly even tire wear. I have kinetix front arms on my car.
hmmmm. I am exactly of the opposite opinion.... You don't need front camber arms, but you will need rear arms to correct abnormal wear and tear on your lowered car's tires. The fronts will sit nice and pretty at -1.6 with a drop which will help with handling immensely. Turn in is much more precise now. The rears will wear excessively with -2.8 camber and i know, mine only lasted 17,000 km's. I went to 305's and the camber was even more pronounced... I had to get rear camber arms and toe bolts immediately. if you get the camber arms, get the toe bolts. They are required to adjust the toe past the stock camber limits.
