I am looking for a good alignment spec for the following:

The car is a daily driver which commutes 100 miles a day so tire wear is first priority and performance and handling is second.

• The car has the following modifications:
  • Spax Coilovers (Dropped 1 1/2 inches)
  • Camber Plates
  • Wheels with 37 offset
  • Rear Control Arms
  • 22 Swaybar

So I want the best specs for handling but doesn't kill tire wear.

Also what is the oem specs? Getting a alignment on Saturday

 

Ask for -2 deg camber up front, -1.5 deg in the rear. Zero toe front and rear (too much toe in or out is what really eats up tires fast).

If you were going to track or autocross the car, I'd suggest another several tenths of a degree negative camber.

The settings I suggest for you above will have a very small impact on tire wear, but will have a dramatic effect on handling. I also commute 100 miles a day, so this isn't theoretical or hearsay.

Exactly what I was looking for

 

I'm running a -2.2 in the front and the -1.5 in the rear, very similar to what Scott suggested and actually have IMPROVED tire wear over the stock setup. I always had a small mount of cupping on my fronts over time, and since going to the Koni Sport Kit with the Helix Camber plates, and adjustable rear control arms, I'm getting almost perfect flat wear now.
