Hello there

I lowered the CS about one inch (KW V3) and used the Tarret Engineering camber plates but could not dial less than 1.7 deg on the front struts

According to the tire shop the tires should last another 10K unless they have premature wear for the excessive camber, any comments please?

I am scheduled to go back to re-align and remove the camber plates next Saturday unless I can find someone with good results with a similar setting, thank you!

I assume that you're tracking the car and/or running autocross in a non-stock class. That much negative camber in front will wear the inside edges a little more, but that's the end that wears tires slowly anyway. I'd like to have -1.7 in front for both autocross and track, but am running in SCCA Super Stock class. In the rear I have -1.8, and there is a little more wear to the inside edges compared to the outside. I looked at the rears a few days ago and it looked like I had about 2/32" to the wear bars at the inside grove, and 3/32" to the wear bars at the outside grove. I'll happily trade that much extra wear for the additional negative camber. I'm maxed out in front at only -1.0 degrees, but would also happily make the trade there too.

If you put in a K & W suspension and Tarret Engineering camber plates then I assume you aren't just planning to drive the car on the street; correct ?
If that's true then 10K miles on tires that are autocrossed & DE'd would be great.
My PS2's are fairly well worn with 3K miles including 4 autocrosses & 1 DE day. Alignment -1.0F -1.8R.
