It is only adjustable so much w/ the factory settings. Why do you want a neg setting?

I would have it set for the factory settings. Otherwise you will have premature tire wear.

My friend that did mine set it to -1.3° for slightly more agressive handling, he said it wouldn't mess up my tires. Is your car lowered?

if you get lowering springs you should probably get caster/camber plates, and then you could have it set whereever you want with ease. If you want a little more camber maybe go like -.5° past stock.

My car is at -3/4 as well for the reasons mentioned above. A tire wear issue may come up, but not nearly as fast as the rears!
