Camber spec for lowered C4S + Dogbones

hi, I am about to install dogbones for my C4S. The car has stock suspension with lowered springs (H&R). I want my rear tires to last longer, so I would want more neutral camber.

What is the camber spec most people have without affecting the stock handling too much? I do an occasional DE also.

Thanks,

For longer lasting rear tires, look at your toe in setting more than your camber settings.

But my rears are all worn on the inside treads, and with it being lowered the camber looks negative even visually.

Toe in would wear the outside edge of each tire more wouldnt it?

+1. Had to get adjustable lower control arms to fix it so insides would not wear out in 4k mi.
