camber question

[k2snownsk8]

ok here's a question. i searched but couldn't find an answer. is a little negitive ( as in the wheels would go a little like this..

/_/ \_\

a bad thing? mine do that a little bit now with my TRD springs. i've heard that the factory camber plates can adjust up to a 2" drop back to stock specs. if the camber is a bad thing, then can my plates adjust the camber to 0 degrees? for the sake of tire wear, wouldn't you want no camber? if the stock plates dont' take care of this, i'll need the hotchkis ones righto? i dunno... somebody educate me here. suspensions aren't my forte at all. if this needs to be moved to the n00b section , so be it :)

Hard to believe you searched, I've only explained this 100's of times

Is negative camber a good thing?
Yes

Can the rear "adjusters" (not plates) get the camber to 0 degrees?
maybe, maybe not See the "factory" rear camber setting is -1.18 degrees and believe it or not this will not cause excessive tire wear. The enemy of one's tires is toe, run around with too much toe in (or out) and your car will eat tires for breakfast. The "factory" rear toe setting is .12" IN

What will "standing" up the rear tires (0 camber) do?
Well for one it will make the car handle like sh!t and will also RAISE THE CAR BACK UP. Kind of defeats the purpose of those nice spring you just installed.

I run my camber at -2.0 degrees with a little toe out in front and -1.5 degrees and just a little toe in out back. Trust me I have seam NO excess tire wear. My stock Bridgestone RE92's were on the car for 35,000 miles and would have stayed on for at least another 5k if BFGoodrich had not given me a free set of tires. Those BFG's still look perfect after 23,000 miles.
