Default Camber Value Question

Hey everyone!
I was planning on putting -2 degrees on all wheels, however I want to make sure I don't wear my tires too quickly. Some of my shop teachers are telling me those values should be fine, while some shops and people online are telling me it would cause excessive wear. If the later is the case, what would be a better all around camber value?
Thanks!

Crossfire already has camber on its wheels!

with -2 degrees camber be sure to adjust your toe to zero; Point the wheels straight ahead. I run about 1.8- chamber on the front with zero toe and my tire wear I would consider as normal. I run Michelin summer tires on the fronts and they have a little over 15,000 miles and still plenty of tread.
On the rear it is close to specs with about 1.3 degrees - chamber and a slight amount of toe in. Each car is a little different; give it a try.

(My experience on my SRT-6) Are you shooting for looks or on the edge performance? For best grip with street tires (track tires too on old asphalt) -1.7 to -1.8 on the front. More negative camber only results in faster wear. 0 toe if you don't mind a little wandering. Any toe out makes it want to wander more but results in instant delicious turn in. Any time I added more than factory negative camber in the rear I got slower. I don't remember what toe settings I tried. I believe I was running quite a bit of toe in as my car was loose on exit otherwise. More camber is not better unless you have really, really sticky tires and a really sticky road surface.

Got it, thanks!
