Be extra careful over speed bumps or driveways.

set your TOE to ZERO all the way around.

camber is up to you. if you're running aggressive wheels/slammed suspension, you'll need to have some negative camber in order to clear the fenders. otherwise, just keep camber within proper specs.

give us more info.

no nothing yet. i'm taking them off next weekend and putting on my winter wheels so i'll let you know more then. -1.5 is still within spec.

0.5 to -1.5 is within acuras specs.

out of spec TOE is what eats up your tires. camber, not so much.

Jeff, I've merged your 2 threads together because they are basically a continuation of each other.
