I'll just reset one of the mileage things and go 500 miles and take wheel off and check. I mean I have some stretched tires so I bet I'll be okay, we will see tho. I was also looking very carefully on comparing the rear natural camber and the front and it looks pretty much the same nos and never seen tire wear on the rears.
You only have 5 threads on the coillover before the cup touches the spring perch? Thats fairly low hah. I am only about 1/3 the way down on mine, i just measured the height to an evenlevel and aimed for 1-2" lower (though a tad higher to compensate for spring sag). The will sag fairly quick 100-500 miles and you should be g2g. Now that mine has leveled out i am going to go get an alignment reading and adjust the rear until im somewhere in the ballpark i want, then adjust the ride height in the front to match & send it off to get the front aligned.

And yes in towards the engine = negative camber.

it also depends on how you adjusted the bolt on the lower side for camber. i pushed mine all the way in and then pulled my camber plates out. It sounds like you pushed it out. I went with the mindset that if it wasn't completely tight (although i used a torque wrench) that it would likely push more in (towards negative camber). I need to hit up Kos and get me some new bolts.
