Re: How far from Spec is your camber ???
This is what my car was set at last time I had an alignment. Front tires have not shown any signs of wear. my rear tires show camber wear and I plan on straightening them out a little bit in the spring time. With my wider tires (285) makes it more visible than it would on the factory (255)

My car handled better before I brought the rear in spec. Riding on the inner-edge of the rear tires made my car carve turns up like crazy. I never had tire wear and it was about 2 degrees out. More body roll, and bumpy turns now that my tires are flat. I wanted to prevent tire wear so even though it wasn't broke, I went ahead and fixed it.
I like having green on my alignment report, but I liked how my car handled before. If your tires aren't showing premature wear, enjoy driving your car the way it is now. I believe my lap times would have been better if I were tracking the car with a bit of negative camber.

-1.3 front camber would be good. I think I have to much,inside of tire is wearing. Do you think 1.5 adjustment would stop wear?
I read that's the max I'll get from Mercedes bolt. And the K-Macs are so expensive. (480.00)
These are my alignment numbers :
