Camber doesn't really mess with the handling as muchas you think. With my car at -8 front and -10.5 rear, the car drives straight as an arrow when the toe is set to 0. As long as your toe is good, your tires don't really wear out quick. My rear, at -10.5 degrees, were still like brand new after 2k miles. No sign of wear. Granted, that is only 2k miles, but camber doesn't kill tires like everyone makes it seem. Also, with camber, you're not really buying expensive tires or tires that are performance orientated. Just buy ones that are cheap and easy to stretch usually.
Different strokes for different folks. That's all there is too it. I love performance builds and "track stance" as much as the next guy, but I love the stance look and lifestyle along with it.
