Read the previous posts and you will see where I mentioned caster camber plates........I realize there is no camber adjustment from the factory, nor is there on most cars.
-2 degrees very well may wear tires more than Zero but even Zero is not in spec from the Factory. -0.5 degrees is standard and a bit more, say about -1.25 will never wear tires prematurely. I have ryn over -2 degrees and as long as I rotate my tires ever 5,000 miles or so I have seen no uneven wear on the inside edge. Question is, were your freinds running any significant Toe settings or were their toe settings appropriate for the street?

No Caster Camber plates for Hondas. We have Camber adustable kits but caster is set in stone unless you want to bend parts.
