Does any one know if having the camber of your front wheels set up for drifting ( negative camber i think it is called) eat your tires quicker during daily driving? Also how does this affect the handling when cornering hard, but not drifting? Just trying to figure out where to adjust my camber plates. Thanks

the more negative camber you run, the more unevenly the tires will wear. If your going to be hard core daily driving, i would go no more than negative 2 degrees MAX. Unless you dont care about tire wear. Yes, Negative camber helps cornering grip.

I would not run excessive camber unless you "need" it, need= not for looks, and you are planning on drifting you car at least once a month.
