Camber recommendation

I autocross my Mustang and am looking for camber recommendations. It is my understanding that camber can be adjusted to about -2 degrees (without adjustable camber plates, which would change class). I know that more camber will be better for racing. However, the 5.0 is my daily driver and I don't want tire wear to be too uneven. I already have some uneven wear on the outside, so some negative camber will be good. How far should I go, -1, -1.5, -2?

Welcome to TMS!

Searching the threads for info rather than the intro section might be better.

Since this is your daily driver and you track it, we would recommend:
Street (Aggressive): -1.0° to -1.25°

Let me know if I can help you with anything.

Welcome, BTW!
