Track alignment camber question

Ive just got some rucas and have had camber plates on the front; I was just wondering what amount of camber I should go with for grip? I have read that rear camber should never be more than the fronts, is this true?
If you didnt care about tire wear, what specs would you go with?

All I have found on here are drift specs, but I probably am blind.

Thanks for any solid info.

I'm running -2.5 in the front and -1 in the rear and it's working well for me. I'm thinking about bumping it to around -2.8 and -1.2 but I'm not sure if I want to yet or not.

Thanks for that, is 2.5 towards the aggressive side would you say?

I wouldn't consider that aggresive. It's my daily driver also and on the rear there is 0 camber wear and the front barely wears uneven. I've had them on for 9 months now and I've rotated the fronts twice and they are perfect. I'm running Star Specs too so they are only 200 treadwear. Toe kills tires alot faster than camber does, I'm running 0 toe in the rear and very slight positive toe in the front.
