I' running d2 coilovers and spc camber arms and a welded diff 205/60/15's whats a good setup camber wise for somewhat daily driving. car won't see rain and its dropped I believe 3 inches maybe 3.5 right now I have the wheels too cambered and I'm running on the edge of the tire so I have to pull it back out some so I'm trying to figure out where I should set them. pictures anyone?

run stock specs. i.e. -.5 to -1.0 camber.

Yea if your just driving normal go for stock camber and toe specs. Toe will wear out the tires quicker then camber.

Im running 205/55/16's which are slightly bigger then your 205/60/15's I think, and the top of the tires are level with the fenders, i have no idea how low over stock that is but it puts me at 3deg camber and stock toe in the front and in the rear Im at 2.5 camber and .25/.30deg rear toe.

The rear tires wear out faster then fronts mostly due to the toe, I would get your car checked first before you pay for an alignment, and make shure you can adjust the rear toe into spec.

Any way the point is toe will wear more then camber, so if its a nice weather only car, Id go with 1.5-2, maybe even 2.5 deg of camber all around with stock toe all around.

With that welded diff though, make shure you rotate the tires every 3K miles and that should help minimize tire wear.

Most respectable alignment shops will have the stock specs on file. Get it close to those if you have no reason to do otherwise (like flushness, racing, etc.)
