Whats your Toe set at?

Toe kills tires, camber won't be noticeable unless your trying to run the same tires for 20K+... in which case stop driving like an old lady.

How many miles are on it.

.7 on the front won't kill tires... at all.

the rear should still be good, unless its .08 out.(which is unlikely since that would be retarded). You must have alot of miles on them, just swap sides for the rear tire.s

right now the rear camber is 1.8 on the left and 2.0 on the right, and its the left one thats getting messed up, its negative so the bottom part of the tire is toward the inside, negative camber, no these tires have less then 3K miles on them, falken ziex 512

heres how the setup is right now

Left Front Right FrontCamber -0.7 -0.7Caster 7.1 6.9Toe 0.06 0.06

Left Rear Right RearCamber -1.8 -2.0Toe 0.08 0.08

This is after all of it was aligned and fixed, it was all much worse then this before, the camber on the rear left was -2.3!!!!

Get yourself some adjustable RUCAs. Most people get them from SPL.com, but i have JIC Magic (yeah, im a JDM boy, flame on). They should be in the neighborhood of $260 for the pair ($300 for JIC, $360 for Cusco), but you can get that camber well under control.
