Front is usually where you get the most camber wear as most of the cornering load for the car is in the front (and the suspension geometry doesn't add inherent camber like the rear does).
- If your car is lowered at all, it will gain natural camber (something like 1 inch drop will give you -2 deg at the rear). At the stock height, the rear has about -1 deg from the factory. In any case, the front-to-rear camber set-up you currently have (~-1.8F to ~-1 R) is roughly proper for the balance of the car.
-1.8 front camber is generally not enough for optimal track-related wear. The generally agreed-upon front camber level for track tends to be -3.0 or more (both for maximizing grip and reducing outside camber wear).
However, if you daily your car, driving on the street everyday over time on a track-oriented alignment will lead to the opposite problem: accelerated tire usage due to camber wear on the inside edge
