Default camber in the rear

Does -1.9 and -2.0 in the rear sound okay??
Will it wear out the tires that much? The alignment guy said it won't and it'll even help me corner better. I've been riding with -1.5 camber in the rear for almost 9 months and the tires still look new, btw.
My toe is pretty much in factory specs.
thanks

it does seem alittle high BUT if the toe is proper and your rotate your tires properly they should be fine. i wouldnt worry about it to much unless the tires started to wear bad..... or your just tired of the looks.LOL
thats why i corrected MOST of my rear camber.... just looks since it looked horible to me angled in so much.

well just be sure your tires can handle the cornering as well soft tires will try to roll the tire off the bead if ya take it past the tires ability!

well i dont corner too quickly... we have a lot of jay walkers and bikers here so i only push the car a bit, tiny bit hard, if i know its clear for sure.

btw, my left side front has -.5 camber and the right side has -1.0
is that gonna affect much?

you'll be fine with the camber and everything... I was running about -3* with my old civic, no wear problems. And the camber difference won't be noticeable; I was half a degree off from one side in front to the other and I didn't notice anything.
