Alignment specs

My rear tires are wearing on the inside. I just street drive. Camber -1.3 and toe total 3/16, with 3/32 per side. I'm raising the car up to row sport -10. Any suggestions on more even tire wear?

Less camber and toe, but probably can't get less than -1.3 camber on the rear at that height. I rotate the rear tires when there is more than a 2 or 3 32nds difference in tread depth from inside to outside.

-1.3 seems excessive for street. As does that much toe. No wonder, you have inside wear.

Thanks guys. k-toe/alignment was set by a reputable shop. According to their report I'm within the specs of -1.4 to -.9 camber and 3/32 to 1/4 toe. I wasn't sure if the wear is "normal" with a lowered car. It make sense to take out some camber if possible, I wasn't sure what the toe will do.

In the subject of alignment. What setting should I do for my kinematic toe? (using autometrics gauge)

My 4S ate tires until we set camber at the min allowed in the spec

What is your current ride height? It varies from car to car but, assuming that you're somewhere in the middle of the RS range, -1.3 degrees on the rear is probably about the least camber that can be achieved without camber plates. I'm at about RS +8 (ROW Sport -12) and can't get less than -1.5 degrees on the rear.
