You have toe bolts and camber arms right? When I needed more adjustability I also used traction rods. With an avg drop I couldn't get more positive than -1 in the rear while keeping toe in spec.

I had the same problem... kinda annoying. I have the sportlines(1.2" drop) on mine and got the camber kit w/ toe bolt and couldn't get it any more positive than around -1.3. The wheels seem like they are leaning pretty far inward though i think this is around factory spec?

I believe factory spec in the rear is -1.1 thru -1.6

Camber always looks worse on skinny tires/factory/weak offset wheels too.

I have the same setup as the OP. best you can do is slightly more camber than factory spec.

OEM camber is -1.1 to -2.1 and the cars typically sit around -1.8 from the factory.

Camber by itself won't kill the tires, Any toe out will with negative camber will. Keep the toe in check and you'll be fine with some camber.

I guess you didn't bother to read the "while drifting part" typically drifters who are not part of the hellagay movement run the rear camber between 0 and -0.5 to keep from burning off just the inside of the tire.
