Huh, I've never had undue "camber wear" running -3.2 front -2.8 rear camber since 2018, even on winter tires that never saw track or even "spirited" street use...

The Whiteline quality looks pretty good. Nice powercoating. I probably need to invest in a pyrometer to check alignment rather than waiting for the tire to wear enough to see what is going on.
Aftermarket can look great, have perfect welds, but they just aren't going to be backed up by anything like the analysis and testing vs. factory arms.

I don't use a pyrometer any more as I simply won't have enough dedicated test time to determine what temp profile is optimal for a given track. Fortunately there is a quite broad range of camber settings that will work quite well, particularly at the rear. Front definitely wants on the order of -3 min...
