I am planning to install my Koni Yellows, Tein S Tech & SPC camber kits this weekend.

I currently have 18x9 +30 buddyclub P1s sitting on 245/40/R18.

From anyone with a similar setup what are you setting for your camber and toe?

i cant answer what camber is needed to run those wheels, but Ill tell you that youll want the toe set to zero. toe in and out is for racing, not daily driving.

Here are the factory specs. If you like to drive somewhat aggressively in the turns, you'll be fine going -1.5F/-2.0R camber without any drastic wear, as long as your toe is in spec.

I hate cars

As the TL's body rolls in turns, the suspension goes into negative camber plus you will be in the negative just driving straight down the road once you lower it. Camber doesn't require any special settings since suspension geometry is excellent. If it went into positive camber as the body rolled, this is when you might need a lot of static negative camber. Besides, camber is not adjustable with the stock suspension.

I would set toe at zero. Toe out will give better response but will also feel less stable and try to follow every rut in the road. It seemed to give just a touch more oversteer at the limit but who knows. Toe in will give a more dull feeling during turn-in but feel more stable at high speed.

^ after that explanation, I think the appropriate question would be "what is the car going to be used for mostly?"

94eg!

Average driving = 0mm +/- 2mm front & rear
Performance driving = 0mm +/- 2mm front & +2mm (toe-in) +/- 2mm

Performance alignment will wear the rear tires a little quicker (outer edge with toe-in). BTW: I just checked my alignment last night (with strings) and I have toe-out in the rear. This pisses me off because my new rear SPT's were already feathering on the inner edge after only a few months (completely stock suspension). I had a Firestone alignment and everything. Their printout showed a perfect 0.00* all around too. I swear up and down that I'm only doing my own alignments from here on out.

After doing my Civic and my wifes Pilot (both arrow straight now), I have full confidence that my own string alignment is better than any un-calibrated crappy shop machine.
