How do these numbers compare to this?

I'm running those specs,but It's hard on the inside of the tires...
can't see the specs ?
UK Specs (AP1 only)

Front Caster 6º 45' (+ 0.75º over US Spec)

Front Camber -1º (+ 0.5º)

Front Total Toe 0º (no change)

Rear Camber -2º (+ 0.5º)

Rear Total Toe-in 0º 40' (+ 0.036 inch)

What tires are wearing and how ?. Did you get a printout of your settings to see if they really matched the above listed numbers ?. You are only running a small bit more camber on the front , and more toe on the rears. If you are getting increased wear on the inside of the front tires then it is likely camber, but -1 degrees isn't much. If you are getting wear on the outside of the rear tires it is toe settings, inside rear tires is camber.

I too was getting too much inside front tire wear with 1 degree or more up front, you could run a bit of toe in up front to counter the added camber, but in all honesty for a mostly street driven car you don't need a lot up front.

Those are great specs for a mostly street driven S2k. That said if you were going to frequent the track/autox you would want more camber in the front for sure, possibally the rear.

You must have been feeling the toe in the rear before because they really didn't do anything that you would notice on the front.
