I do daily drive this and tire wear is a bit of a concern as they are about $300 a tire here and my wheels are staggered so no rotating to reduce uneven wear.
I don't need it to handle like a track car as I don't use it for that.
Just trying to see how I want to set it up. First time lowering a car and I want to do it right without wasting money on parts I don't really need.

Pick up some SPC camber bolts and install them in the bottom strut hole on the front. That way you'll have some front adjustability.
Then go get an alignment and see where you're at. You want the front to be a hair more than the rear. E.g., -1.5f/-1r or -2f/-1.5r. That kind of thing. Either one of those pairs of numbers will be fine, without having uneven tire wear. Keep the front at 0 toe-in, have the rear toed in to ~1/32 to 1/16 each side.
This will give you an agile alignment that is reasonably stable on the highway and conservative on tire wear. You will possibly need rear LCAs, depending on what your rear camber is after the springs.
All of these numbers are changeable to achieve different purposes for the car. Different people will recommend different settings, but this is a good baseline to start from.
