wiztecy and I both drive Hwy 17 in the SF Bay Area regularly. He turned me on to a Lotus mechanic, who did my alignment work as well. Shims in the rear for more negative camber, and urethane bushing for less slop. I also added the "V2 steering arms" in the front, which enable getting more negative camber - I think wiztecy (re)moved a brake attachment plate to get his negative camber. The result with all this negative camber is that roads like Hwy 1 through Big Sur are super fun, but be warned that my specs are not suitable for cars mostly driven on freeways or on city streets - you'll wear the insides of your tires out prematurely. For me, I was wearing the outsides out way too early. That's an indication of having too much fun in the car, I guess.
As for tire wear, I've never gotten a lot of miles out of my tires. I probably accelerate too quickly too much, and use too much regen, not to mention the curvy roads I often drive. Anyway, here are my specs"
